Why won't my Toro Lawn and Garden Equipment engine start?
- S
  Scott ShermanAug 29, 2025
  Several factors can prevent your Toro Lawn and Garden Equipment engine from starting. Ensure the fuel tank isn't empty and the fuel-shutoff valve is open. For a cold engine, the choke should be ON; for a warm engine, it should be OFF. The throttle level should be midway between the SLOW and FAST positions. Other potential issues include a dirty fuel filter (replace it), a dirty air cleaner (clean or replace the element), a faulty spark plug (clean, adjust, or replace it), or a disconnected spark-plug wire (check the connection). Also, check the electrical connections for good contact; clean the connector terminals and reconnect.

  If the tines on your Toro Tiller do not engage the ground, increase the tine down pressure. Also, check the oil level in the auxiliary reservoir and add oil if it is low. If you have model 39518, remove the cylinder stop, clevis pin, and hair pin.

Why is my Toro 29518 engine losing power?
- W
  William SmithAug 26, 2025
  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.

What to do if my Toro 29518 Tiller starter does not crank?
- M
  Miss Theresa AllenAug 25, 2025
  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.
