Why does my MTD 170-TOA fail to start?
- JJessica RussellAug 10, 2025
If your MTD engine fails to start, there are several potential reasons. It could be that the engine is flooded, in which case you should wait at least 10 minutes before attempting to start it again. Other possible causes include a disconnected spark plug wire (connect it to the spark plug), an empty or stale fuel tank (fill it with clean, fresh gasoline), the engine not being choked (choke the engine), a faulty spark plug (clean, adjust the gap, or replace it), or the throttle being in the stop position (move the throttle to the FAST/Run position).
