How to troubleshoot a Sears Lawn Mower that is hard to start?
- C
  Christina SmithAug 18, 2025
  If your Sears Lawn Mower is hard to start, several factors could be the cause. Start by checking the air filter and clean or replace it if it’s dirty. Replace the spark plug if it is bad. Ensure the battery is fully charged; recharge or replace if weak or dead. Other causes include a dirty fuel filter (replace it), stale or dirty fuel (drain and refill with fresh gasoline), or loose/damaged wiring (check all wiring). If these steps don't resolve the issue, the carburetor or engine valves may need adjustment, in which case you should contact an authorized service center/department.

  If your Sears Lawn Mower engine won't turn over, make sure the brake pedal is depressed and the attachment clutch is disengaged. Check the battery; recharge or replace it if it's weak or dead. Also, inspect the fuse and replace it if blown. Clean corroded battery terminals and check all wiring for any loose or damaged connections. If the issue persists, the ignition switch, solenoid, or starter might be faulty and need to be checked or replaced. For faulty operator presence switch(es), contact an authorized service center/department.

Then, clean any corrosion from the battery terminals. Also, check all wiring for loose or damaged connections. If the problem continues, the solenoid or starter may be faulty and need to be checked or replaced.

Why does my Sears Lawn Mower have poor grass discharge?
- C
  Christopher PrinceSep 2, 2025
  If your Sears Lawn Mower isn't discharging grass properly, ensure the throttle control is in the “FAST” position and shift to a slower speed if you're moving too quickly. Allow the grass to dry before mowing if it's wet. Level the mower deck and check the tires for proper air pressure. Replace or sharpen the blade and tighten the blade bolt if the blade is worn, bent, or loose. Clean the underside of the mower housing to remove any buildup of grass, leaves, and trash. Replace the mower drive belt if it's worn. Reinstall the blades with the sharp edge down if they're improperly installed and replace with the blades listed in this manual if the wrong blades are being used. Clean around mandrels to open vent holes if the mower deck vent holes are clogged.

  If your Sears Lawn Mower is providing a poor, uneven cut, start by checking the blade. Replace it if it's worn, bent, or loose, and ensure the blade bolt is tightened. Next, level the mower deck. Remove any buildup of grass, leaves, and trash from under the mower. If the blade mandrel is bent, replace it. Finally, clean around the mandrels to open vent holes if they are clogged with grass, leaves, and trash.

If the light switch is faulty, check or replace it. Inspect the wiring and connections for any looseness or damage. Lastly, check the fuse and replace it if it's blown.
