      Stephanie GomezAug 1, 2025
      If the engine of your Ransomes Lawn Mower won't start, there are several potential causes. First, ensure the glow plug has timed out by resetting the ignition switch. Check the battery's condition and connections. Make sure the fuel tank isn't empty or contaminated; if necessary, fill it with fresh fuel, change the filter, and bleed the air from the lines. Also, verify that the mow switch is set to 'off' and the transport pedal is in neutral. Finally, inspect the fuse and starter relay, replacing them if defective.
