  The engine may not start due to several reasons. The fuel tank could be empty, so fill it. The fuel-shutoff valve might be closed, so open it. The oil level in the crankcase could be low, so add oil. The throttle may not be in the correct position, so be sure that the throttle control is midway between the slow and fast positions. The fuel filter might be dirty, so replace it. The air cleaner might be dirty, so clean or replace the air-cleaner element. The seat switch may not be functioning properly, so check the seat-switch indicator and replace the seat if necessary. The electrical connections may be corroded, loose, or damaged, so check the electrical connections for good contact, clean the connector terminals thoroughly with electrical-contact cleaner, apply dielectric grease, and make...

Why is the starter not cranking on my Toro 74142TE Lawn Mower?
- R
  Robert WongAug 26, 2025
  If the starter on your Toro Lawn Mower isn't cranking, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the blade-control switch (PTO) is disengaged. Next, confirm that the parking brake is fully engaged and the drive levers are in the neutral-lock position. Also, make sure you are seated properly. If these aren't the issue, check your battery; it might be dead and require a charge. Corroded or loose electrical connections can also prevent starting, so inspect those for good contact. Lastly, a blown fuse could be the culprit, in which case you should replace it.

Why won't my Toro 74142TE engine start or keep running?
- M
  Michelle RamosAug 27, 2025
  If your Toro Lawn Mower engine won't start, starts with difficulty, or stalls, there are several things to check. Begin by ensuring the fuel tank is full and the fuel shutoff valve is open. Verify that the oil level in the crankcase is adequate. Position the throttle control midway between the “SLOW” and “FAST” settings. Replace the fuel filter if it's dirty, and clean or replace the air cleaner if it's clogged. Inspect the spark plug wire connection and clean, adjust, or replace the spark plug if faulty. Also, check the seat switch indicator and replace the seat if needed. Finally, inspect the electrical connections for corrosion or looseness, cleaning and reconnecting them as necessary.
