      Alexander SimpsonAug 23, 2025

      Michelle PatrickAug 26, 2025
      If your Toro Lawn Mower engine starts hard or loses power, it could be due to several reasons: the fuel tank contains stale fuel, so drain and fill the fuel tank with fresh gasoline; the air filter element is dirty and is restricting the air flow, thus clean the air filter pre-cleaner and/or replace the paper air filter; the underside of the mower housing contains clippings and debris, therefore clean under the mower housing; the spark plug is pitted, fouled, or the gap is incorrect, so check the spark plug and adjust the gap if necessary, replace the spark plug if it is pitted, fouled, or cracked; the engine oil level is low or the oil is dirty, thus check the engine oil and change the oil if it is dirty or add oil if it is low.
