  If your McCulloch Lawn Mower is hard to start, consider these possible causes: a dirty air filter (clean or replace it), a bad spark plug (replace it), a weak or dead battery (recharge or replace it), a dirty fuel filter (replace it), or stale or dirty fuel (empty the tank and refill with fresh, clean gas).

  If the engine of your McCulloch Lawn Mower won't turn over, make sure the brake pedal is depressed and the attachment clutch is disengaged.

Check all wiring for looseness or damage. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the ignition switch, solenoid, or starter may be faulty and need checking or replacement.

Why does my McCulloch MC20H42YT have poor grass discharge?
- F
  Felicia MillerAug 30, 2025
  If your McCulloch Lawn Mower has poor grass discharge, ensure the engine speed isn't too slow by placing the throttle control in the 'FAST' position. Check that your travel speed isn't too fast and shift to a slower speed if needed. Avoid mowing wet grass, and make sure the mower deck is level. Inspect the tires for proper air pressure. Check the blade; replace it if it's worn, bent, or loose, and tighten the blade bolt. Clean any buildup of grass, leaves, or trash under the mower. If the mower drive belt is worn, replace it. Ensure the blades are installed with the sharp edge down. If you're using improper blades, replace them with the blades listed in the parts manual. Finally, clean around the mandrels to open vent holes if they are clogged.
