Why won't my Patriot LM 46 SP Lawn Mower engine start?
- DDavid SmithAug 2, 2025
Several factors can prevent your Patriot Lawn Mower engine from starting. Ensure the choke lever is correctly positioned for the current conditions. Check if the fuel tank is empty and refill if necessary. A dirty air cleaner element, loose spark plug, disconnected spark plug wire, incorrect spark plug gap, defective spark plug, or a flooded engine can also be culprits. Tighten the spark plug to 25-30 Nm, install the spark plug wire, set the gap between the electrodes at 0.7 to 0.8 mm, or charge the battery. If the ignition module is faulty, it is recommended to contact an authorized service center.
