  If the starter on your Toro Tiller isn't cranking, begin by ensuring the parking brake is fully engaged. Check that the brake switch is properly adjusted. If these aren't the issue, the battery may not have a full charge, so try charging it. Inspect all electrical connections for corrosion, looseness, or other faults; clean the connector terminals thoroughly with electrical contact cleaner, apply dielectric grease, and reconnect. Finally, check the fuse and replace it if it's blown.

  If your Toro Tiller engine is losing power, consider these potential causes. First, the engine load might be excessive; try reducing the ground speed or aeration depth. A dirty air cleaner can also cause power loss, so clean or replace the air cleaner element. Check the oil level in the crankcase and add oil if it's low. Ensure the cooling fins and air passages for the engine are free from obstructions. Lastly, a dirty fuel filter can restrict fuel flow; replace the fuel filter if necessary.
