  Helen SmithAug 23, 2025
  If your MTD Lawn Mower engine won't start, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the fuel tank isn't empty and that the fuel is fresh, not stale. If equipped, try pushing the primer bulb two or three times. Also, check that the spark plug wire is securely connected to the spark plug. A dirty air cleaner or a fouled spark plug could also be the culprit, so refer to the Engine Operator’s Manual for instructions. If the engine is flooded, consult the Engine Operator’s Manual.

  If your MTD Lawn Mower engine runs erratically, start by checking the spark plug wire to ensure it's connected and tight. Stale fuel can also cause this issue, so drain the old gasoline and refill the tank with fresh fuel. Additionally, a plugged vent in the gas cap could be the problem; clear it of any debris. Water or dirt in the fuel system can also lead to erratic running, so drain the fuel tank and refill with fresh fuel. For a dirty air cleaner, refer to the Engine Operator’s Manual.
