Why does my Raider Lawn Mower engine fail to start?
- CCharles CobbAug 12, 2025
The engine may fail to start due to several reasons. It could be that the blade control handle is disengaged, so engage the blade control handle. Another reason might be a disconnected spark plug wire – connect the wire to the spark plug. Also, check if the throttle control lever is in the correct starting position; if not, move it to the FAST or START position. The fuel tank might be empty or contain stale fuel, so fill it with clean, fresh gasoline. A blocked fuel line could also be the culprit, so clean the fuel line. The spark plug might be faulty, so clean, adjust the gap, or replace it. Lastly, the engine might be flooded; in this case, crank the engine with the throttle in the FAST position.
