How to fix a Swisher RESPONSE ZTR2766BS engine that won't start?
- J
  Jason WagnerAug 2, 2025
  If your Swisher Lawn Mower engine won't start or is hard to start, begin by checking the fuel tank to ensure it's adequately filled. If the fuel is old or contaminated, drain the tank and replace it with fresh gasoline. Inspect the spark plug; a faulty spark plug should be replaced. Also, examine the air filter and replace it if it's dirty. The fuel filter should also be replaced, and the wiring should be checked for any loose or damaged connections. If there is water in the fuel, drain the fuel tank and carburetor, refill the tank with fresh gas, and replace the fuel filter. If the battery is weak or dead, recharge or replace it.

Check all wiring for loose or damaged connections. If the solenoid or ignition switch is faulty, they should be checked and replaced.
