Why Toro 74024 Lawn Mower engine does not start?
- M
  Mrs. Virginia WhiteAug 25, 2025
  Your Toro Lawn Mower engine might fail to start, start hard, or fail to keep running due to several reasons. The fuel tank could be empty, so fill it. Ensure the throttle is in the fast position. The fuel filter might be dirty, in which case you should replace it. Dirt, water, or stale fuel in the fuel system can also cause this, so clean and flush the system. A dirty air cleaner, a malfunctioning seat switch, corroded or loose electrical connections, a fouled or improperly gapped spark plug, failed ignition coil(s), a disconnected spark plug wire, or a worn/damaged switch could also be the cause. Address these issues by cleaning/replacing parts, checking connections, or testing/replacing faulty components.
