Why my Hyundai HYM42P-B Lawn Mower engine does not start?

  Catherine ValenciaAug 2, 2025
  If your Hyundai Lawn Mower engine won't start, several factors could be at play. Start by checking if the OPC cable is correctly adjusted and ensure the fuel tank isn't empty; if it is, refill it. Stale fuel can also be a culprit, so drain the carburetor float bowl. Inspect the air filter for dirt and clean or replace it as needed. Make sure the spark plug is tight and the spark plug cap is correctly fitted. If the spark plug is faulty, set the plug gap to 0.7-0.8mm or replace it. If the carburetor is flooded, remove the air filter and pull the starter rope until it clears. For a faulty ignition module, it's best to contact the service dealer.

  If your Hyundai Lawn Mower engine is hard to start or keeps losing power, consider these possibilities: * There might be dirt, water, or stale fuel in the tank. In this case, drain the fuel, clean the tank, and refill it with fresh fuel. * The vent hole in the fuel tank filler cap could be clogged. Try cleaning or replacing the fuel tank cap. * A dirty air filter element can also cause these issues, so clean or replace it.
