  If your Toro Lawn Mower engine won't start, it could be due to several reasons. First, ensure the fuel tank isn't empty and the fuel is fresh; drain and refill if needed. Next, check that the throttle lever is in the CHOKE position. Also, make sure the wire is securely connected to the spark plug. Finally, inspect the spark plug for any pitting, fouling, or incorrect gap; adjust or replace it if necessary. If the problem persists after checking these, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.
