Why Toro Lawn Mower engine will not start?
- R
  robertsonjohnAug 18, 2025
  If your Toro Lawn Mower engine won't start, starts hard, or fails to keep running, several factors could be at play. Ensure you are seated on the seat. Check that the fuel tank is filled with gasoline and that the fuel shut-off valve is open. A dirty air cleaner may be the culprit, so clean or replace the air cleaner element. Also, verify the spark plug wire is securely connected to the spark plug and that the spark plug itself is in good condition (not pitted, fouled, and correctly gapped), replacing it if necessary. The choke may not be closing, in that case adjust the throttle cable. Other potential issues include dirt in the fuel filter (replace it), an incorrect idle speed or mixture (adjust it), or dirt, water, or stale fuel in the fuel system.

Why does my Toro 170-DH Lawn Mower engine loses power?
- D
  Donald PageAug 21, 2025
  Your Toro Lawn Mower engine may lose power due to several reasons. First, check if the engine load is excessive and reduce your ground speed. A dirty air cleaner can also cause power loss, so clean the air cleaner element. Ensure the oil level in the crankcase is adequate by adding oil if it's low. Clear any obstructions from the cooling fins and air passages under the engine blower housing. Inspect the spark plug for pitting, fouling, or incorrect gap, and replace it if needed. Additionally, a plugged vent hole in the fuel cap or a dirty fuel filter can restrict fuel flow; clean or replace these components as necessary. Finally, dirt, water, or stale fuel in the fuel system can lead to power loss.

- L
  Leslie RichardsAug 23, 2025
  If the blades on your Toro Lawn Mower aren't rotating, it could be due to a worn, loose, or broken blade drive belt, in that case install a new blade drive belt. Another possibility is that the blade drive belt is off the pulley; install the blade drive belt and adjust it for the correct tension. Also, make sure the grass collector is properly installed.

Why is the cutting height uneven on my Toro 170-DH Lawn Mower?
- S
  Sheri GrayAug 26, 2025
  Uneven cutting height on your Toro Lawn Mower can be attributed to several factors. Incorrect tire pressure can cause the mower to sit unevenly, so set the tire pressure. If the mower isn't level, adjust the height adjustment cable rod assembly. A dirty underside of the mower can interfere with cutting, so clean it. Loose blade mounting screws can also contribute to uneven cutting, so tighten them. Lastly, an incorrect blade drive belt tension can affect the cutting height; adjust the blade drive belt.

  Abnormal vibration in your Toro Lawn Mower can stem from several issues. Bent or unbalanced blades are a common cause, so install new blades. Check the blade mounting screws and tighten them if they are loose. Similarly, ensure the engine mounting bolts are securely tightened. Loose engine, idler, or blade pulleys can also cause vibration, so tighten the appropriate pulley. Finally, a damaged blade drive belt can contribute to vibration, so install a new blade drive belt.
