  If your Toro Lawn Mower engine will not start, starts hard, or fails to keep running, fill the fuel tank, open the fuel shutoff valve and add oil to the crankcase. Ensure that the throttle control is midway between the “SLOW” and “FAST” positions. Also, replace the fuel filter, clean or replace the air cleaner element, check the seat switch indicator (replace the seat if needed), check the electrical connections for good contact (clean the connector terminals thoroughly with electrical contact cleaner, apply dielectric grease, and reconnect), clean, adjust, or replace the spark plug and check the spark plug wire connection. If problems persist, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

Why Toro 72946 blades do not rotate?
- C
  Chase AllenAug 27, 2025
  If the blades on your Toro Lawn Mower aren't rotating, it could be due to a worn, loose, or broken mower deck belt; in this case, install a new deck belt. Another possibility is that the mower deck belt is off the pulley; reinstall it and check the idler pulley, idler arm, and spring for correct position and function. Also, check the pump drive belt for wear, looseness, or breakage, and adjust the belt tension or install a new belt. Finally, inspect the idler spring and replace it if it's broken or missing.

  A loss of power in your Toro Lawn Mower engine can stem from several causes. The engine load might be excessive, so reduce the ground speed. Check the air cleaner element; if it's dirty, clean it. Ensure the oil level in the crankcase is sufficient by adding oil if needed. Clear any obstructions from the cooling fins and air passages above the engine, and clean or replace the fuel cap if the vent hole is plugged. Also, replace the fuel filter if it's dirty.
