Why is my Stihl Lawn Mower engine not starting?
- LLauren RichAug 3, 2025
If the Stihl Lawn Mower engine isn't starting, make sure you're pressing and holding the motorstop lever to the handlebar. Also, check if the fuel tank is empty and refill it if needed. A blocked fuel line, inferior, dirty, or old fuel could also be the cause, so clean the fuel line and use fresh, good quality fuel (unleaded petrol). Check the air filter and clean it if it's dirty. Ensure the spark plug socket is properly connected to the spark plug and that the spark plug isn't dirty, damaged, or has an incorrect electrode gap. Clean the spark plug if necessary.
