Why won't my Snapper 2691556 Lawn Mower engine turn over?
- M
  Mrs. Cindy Griffith MDAug 17, 2025
  Several factors can prevent your Snapper Lawn Mower engine from turning over. Ensure the brake pedal is fully pushed down. Check that the fuel tank isn't empty, and if the engine is hot, allow it to cool before refilling. Make sure the PTO switch is in the OFF position and the cruise control is set to NEUTRAL/OFF. If the engine is flooded, disengage the choke. Also, a discharged or dead battery can be the culprit, so charge or replace it. Finally, check for loose or broken wiring; if found, consult an Authorized Service Dealer.

  Excessive oil consumption in your Snapper Lawn Mower can occur if the engine is too hot; check the engine fins, blower screen, and air cleaner (if equipped). It may also be caused by using the incorrect grade of oil (refer to the Check and Add Engine Oil section) or having too much oil in the crankcase, in which case you should drain the excess oil.
