  Kevin LucasAug 20, 2025
  If your Husqvarna Lawn Mower won't start, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the fuel tank is adequately filled. If the engine isn't choked correctly, consult the “TO START ENGINE” section in the Operation manual. If the engine is flooded, wait a few minutes before trying again. Other potential issues include a bad spark plug (replace it), a dirty air filter (clean or replace it), a dirty fuel filter (replace it), water in the fuel (empty the fuel tank and carburetor, refill with fresh gasoline, and replace the fuel filter), loose or damaged wiring (check all wiring), or engine valves that need adjustment (contact an authorized service center/department).

  Ann GeorgeSep 5, 2025
  If your Husqvarna Lawn Mower provides a poor and uneven cut, inspect for a worn, bent, or loose blade (replace the blade and tighten the blade bolt). It may also be caused by the mower deck not being level (level the mower deck), a buildup of grass, leaves, or trash under the mower (clean the underside of the mower housing), a bent blade mandrel (replace the blade mandrel), or clogged mower deck vent holes (clean around mandrels to open vent holes).
