What to do if my Toro 266H Wheel Horse 72052 Lawn Mower starter does not crank?

  Christine DiazAug 2, 2025
  If the starter on your Toro Lawn Mower isn't cranking, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the blade control (PTO) is disengaged and the parking brake is set. Also, make sure you are seated properly. If these aren't the issue, check the battery charge and electrical connections for any corrosion or looseness. A blown fuse could also be the culprit, so inspect and replace if necessary. If the problem persists, it could be a defective relay or switch.

Why won't my Toro 266H Wheel Horse 72052 engine start or keeps stalling?

  Several factors can cause your Toro Lawn Mower engine to fail to start, start hard, or stall frequently. Begin by ensuring the fuel tank is adequately filled with gasoline and the choke is properly engaged. A dirty air cleaner can also impede engine function, so clean or replace the air cleaner element. Check that the spark plug wire is securely connected to the spark plug and that the spark plug itself isn't damaged or improperly gapped; replace if needed. Lastly, a dirty fuel filter can restrict fuel flow, so replace it if necessary.

How to fix a Toro 266H Wheel Horse 72052 engine that loses power?
- D
  Douglas MendezAug 13, 2025
  If your Toro Lawn Mower engine is losing power, there are several potential causes. Start by reducing your ground speed, as the engine load may be excessive. Check the air cleaner element and clean it if it's dirty. Ensure the oil level in the crankcase is sufficient and add oil if it's low. Inspect the cooling fins and air passages under the engine blower housing, removing any obstructions. A faulty spark plug can also cause power loss, so replace it with a new, correctly gapped one. Additionally, check the fuel cap vent hole to ensure it's not plugged, cleaning or replacing the cap if necessary. Finally, replace the fuel filter if it's dirty.
