  If your Jacobsen Lawn Mower engine is hard to start or runs poorly, several factors could be responsible. Begin by checking the fuel level and condition; low fuel, or dirty fuel/fuel filter, can cause issues. Fill the tank with fresh fuel, replace the fuel filter, and bleed the fuel lines. Also, inspect the air filter for dirt and replace it if necessary. For issues related to the injectors or fuel pump, or for more complex engine problems, consult the Engine Manual.
