Why Ryobi Lawn Mower not starting?
- TTaylor HoweAug 2, 2025
If your Ryobi Lawn Mower isn't starting, there could be several reasons. First, ensure the mower has enough petrol and the fuel tap is in the open position. If it still doesn't start, it could be flooded; wait 15 minutes before trying again, skipping the priming steps as described in the STARTING / STOPPING THE MOWER section. Old fuel (over 30 days) can also be the culprit, so use fresh fuel. Finally, check for a spark by removing the spark plug, reattaching the cap, laying it on the metal cylinder, and pulling the starter rope. If there's no spark, try a new spark plug.
