Why Jonsered YT42 will not start?
- B
  Brett HodgesAug 20, 2025
  Your Jonsered Lawn Mower might not start due to several reasons: it could be out of fuel, so you should fill the fuel tank. The engine may not be choked properly, so refer to the “TO START ENGINE” section in the Operation section. It's also possible the engine is flooded; in this case, wait several minutes before trying again. Other potential causes 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 are out of adjustment.

What to do if Jonsered YT42 has poor grass discharge?
- S
  Sarah LeeAug 26, 2025
  If your Jonsered Lawn Mower has poor grass discharge, here are several things to check: Make sure the engine speed isn't too slow by placing the throttle control in the “FAST” position. Avoid moving too fast by shifting to a slower speed. Wet grass can also cause this issue, so allow the grass to dry before mowing. Verify the mower deck is level and that the tire air pressure is correct and even. Check for a worn, bent, or loose blade and replace or tighten as necessary. Clean any buildup of grass, leaves, or trash under the mower. Replace a worn mower drive belt. Ensure blades are installed with the sharp edge down and that you're using the correct blades as listed in the parts manual. Lastly, clear any clogged mower deck vent holes around the mandrels.
