  If your Texas Lawn Mower doesn't start when you pull the start cord or push the electric start button, there could be several reasons. First, ensure the engine brake handle is activated. Check that the wires are correctly connected to the battery. If that's not the case, the brake cable might be incorrectly adjusted, so adjust the engine brake cable. Also, if the lawn mower is standing in high grass, move it away to start it and set the height adjustment in the highest position. Ensure the engine is primed before starting by pushing the primer 1-3 times. Make sure the choke is in the correct position. Check if there is gasoline in the fuel tank and fill it if needed. Finally, if the gasoline is more than 3 months old, empty the fuel tank and carburetor and refill with fresh gasoline.

  If the engine of your Texas Lawn Mower runs irregularly or its performance becomes poor while you are working, it could be due to several reasons. Check that the spark plug cap is firmly attached and that the spark plug is clean and not damaged. Also, ensure that the gap between the spark plug and the electrode is correct. Inspect the air filter for dirt and clean it if necessary. If the issue persists, wait a few minutes to address potential fuel evaporation in the carburetor, and then try to start again. Check the throttle cable, and clean the carburettor.

  If the start cable on your Texas Lawn Mower is very tight, preventing it from starting, it could be because the brake handle is not being activated. Make sure to activate the brake handle and then pull the start cord. Alternatively, the machine might be placed in high grass. Move it away from the high grass, repeat the start procedure, and set the height adjustment to the highest position.

Why are the back wheels not pulling on my Texas RS 460 Lawn Mower?

  Kathy HawkinsSep 1, 2025
  If the back wheels of your Texas Lawn Mower are not pulling, or only very little, it could be because the clutch cable is too tight or too loose, so you should adjust the clutch cable. Another possible reason is that the ratchets in the rear wheels are worn, in which case you should replace the ratchets.
