  If your Toro Tiller engine isn't starting, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the engine switch is in the ON position. Next, check the spark-plug wire to confirm it's securely connected to the spark plug. Also, inspect the spark plug itself; if it's wet, pitted, fouled, or has an incorrect gap, replace it with a new, correctly gapped one. Finally, make sure the fuel-line hose is properly positioned at the bottom of the fuel tank, ensuring it's submerged in fuel.

  If your Toro Tiller engine is hard to start, begin by draining the fuel tank and adding fresh fuel, as stale fuel can be the culprit. Check that the spark-plug wire is securely connected to the spark plug. Additionally, ensure the carburetor is clean; consider using fuel stabilizer and a new fuel can. If the fuel isn't sufficiently primed, press the primer bulb 3 times, then pull the recoil handle.

  If your Toro Tiller's engine is giving you trouble by not starting, starting with difficulty, or failing to stay running, consider these potential causes. Begin by checking the fuel tank to ensure it's adequately filled. Next, verify that the choke is correctly engaged by moving the choke lever to the CHOKE position.
