Why won't my Toro 51940 engine start?
- C
  Charles TuckerAug 6, 2025
  If your Toro Brush Cutter engine won't start, first, ensure the switch is in the I (ON) position. If it still doesn't start, check for a spark by removing the spark plug, reattaching the cap, and laying it on the metal cylinder while pulling the starter cord. If there's no spark, try a new spark plug. Also, make sure the primer bulb fills with fuel when pushed. If it does not, the fuel delivery system may be blocked. If the bulb fills, the engine may be flooded. If the starter cord pulls harder than when new, contact an authorized service dealer.

  If your Toro Brush Cutter engine doesn't reach full speed and emits excessive smoke, ensure you are using fresh fuel and the correct 2-cycle oil mix. Also, check and clean the air filter and the spark arrestor screen.

What to do if the line will not advance when using automatic line lengthening on my Toro Brush Cutter?

  Derek StevensAug 16, 2025
  If the line won't advance when using the automatic line lengthening feature on your Toro Brush Cutter, try lubricating the line with silicone spray if it's welded to itself. If there's not enough line, install more. You can also pull the line while pressing down on and releasing the retaining cap if the line is worn too short. If the line is tangled, remove it and rewind it. Finally, make sure the engine is at full throttle when advancing the line.
