  The engine of your Power smart Lawn Mower might fail to start due to several reasons. Ensure the engine start/stop lever is engaged. Check if the spark plug wire is connected. Refill the tank with clean, fresh gasoline if the fuel tank is empty or contains stale fuel. Press the primer bulb to prime the engine. Inspect the spark plug and clean, adjust the gap, or replace if faulty. Also, ensure the fuel line is not blocked and clean it if necessary. If the engine is flooded, wait a few minutes before attempting to restart, and avoid priming it again.

Why does my Power smart Lawn Mower engine run erratic?

  Amy BarreraAug 7, 2025
  Your Power smart Lawn Mower engine might run erratically because the spark plug wire is loose, so connect and tighten it. There might be a blockage in the fuel line or the fuel is stale, so clean the fuel line and fill the tank with clean, fresh gasoline, also drain the carburetor bowl. If there is water or dirt in the fuel system, drain the fuel tank and refill with fresh fuel. A dirty air filter can also cause this issue, so clean or replace the filter.

  If your Power smart Lawn Mower isn't mulching grass, it's likely because the grass is wet. Avoid mowing when the grass is wet and wait until it's dry before cutting.

Why does my Power smart DB2194PH leave an uneven cut?

  Alison CookAug 28, 2025
  An uneven cut with your Power smart Lawn Mower can occur if the grass is excessively high, so mow once at a high cutting height, then mow again at the desired height or make a narrower cutting path. Another reason may be a dull blade, so sharpen or replace the blade.
