Why is my Midland Lawn Mower engine sluggish at switch on?

If the engine of your Midland Lawn Mower is sluggish at switch on, the possible causes are: * Accelerator not in start-up position. * Choke not closed. * Petrol does not arrive. * Air bubbles or water inside the petrol lines. * Thick oil prevents rotation. * Winding or start mechanism faulty. * Spark plug in poor condition. To resolve this: 1. Move the accelerator to the intermediate position. 2. Close the choke when cold. 3. Check the fuel tank and remove any water or sediment. Make sure that the feed cock is open. 4. Check the lines and bands. Repair or replace if damaged. 5. Use oil with a viscosity suited to the temperature. 6. Replace winding or start mechanism. 7. Clean or replace spark plug. Adjust the distance between the electrodes.
