  If your Solo Lawn Mower is not cutting grass completely, there might be a few reasons. Check if your forward speed is too high and decrease it. Ensure the engine speed is at maximum. If the grass is too long, try going over it twice, changing the cutting height. Also, examine the flails for wear or breakage and replace them if necessary.

Why is the engine sluggish at switch on for my Solo 526M Lawn Mower?
- P
  Paul HamiltonSep 12, 2025
  If your Solo Lawn Mower engine feels sluggish when you switch it on, make sure the accelerator is in the start-up position. If the engine is cold, close the choke. Check the fuel tank and remove any water or sediment. Ensure that the feed cock is open to eliminate air bubbles or water in the petrol lines. Use oil with a viscosity suited to the temperature to prevent thick oil from hindering rotation. If the winding or start mechanism is faulty, replace it. Finally, inspect the spark plug, and clean or replace it, adjusting the electrode distance.
