Why Simplicity 2691481-00 Lawn Mower engine will not turnover or start?
- CcindythompsonAug 14, 2025
There are several reasons why your Simplicity Lawn Mower might not start. It could be due to the brake pedal not being fully pushed down, so ensure you fully depress the brake pedal. The fuel tank might be empty, so let the engine cool if it's hot, then fill the fuel tank. Check that the PTO switch is in the OFF position and the cruise control is disengaged. If the engine is flooded, disconnect the choke. Other potential causes include discharged battery (charge or replace it), loose or broken wiring (visually inspect, and consult a service dealer if needed).
