Why does my Toro Lawn tractor engine lose power?
- M
  Mary JohnsonSep 7, 2025
  Your Toro Lawn tractor engine may lose power due to several reasons. The engine load could be excessive, so reduce ground speed. A dirty air cleaner can cause this, so clean it. Check the oil level in the crankcase and add oil if it's low. Also, ensure cooling fins and air passages are free from obstructions. A faulty spark plug or a plugged fuel cap vent hole could also be the cause; replace or clean them as necessary. Finally, replace the fuel filter if it's dirty.
