  If your Toro Lawn Mower engine loses power, consider the following: * The engine load may be excessive, so reduce the ground speed. * A dirty air cleaner can cause power loss; clean the air cleaner element. * Low oil level in the crankcase can also lead to this issue; add oil to the crankcase. * Obstructions in the cooling fins and air passages under the engine blower housing can cause power loss; remove any obstructions. * A faulty spark plug can be the culprit; install a new, correctly gapped spark plug. * A plugged vent hole in the fuel cap can also cause power loss; clean or replace the fuel cap. * A dirty fuel filter can restrict fuel flow; replace the fuel filter. * If there is dirt, water, or stale fuel in the fuel system, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

  If your Toro Lawn Mower engine is losing power, there could be several reasons. First, reduce the ground speed to lessen the engine load. Check the air cleaner element and clean it if it's dirty. Ensure the oil level in the crankcase is adequate, and add oil if it's low. Clear any obstructions from the cooling fins and air passages under the engine blower housing. Replace the spark plug if it is pitted, fouled, or incorrectly gapped. Clean or replace the fuel cap if the vent hole is plugged. Replace the fuel filter if it's dirty. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the fuel system may contain dirt, water, or stale fuel, and you should contact an Authorized Service Dealer.
