Why does my Toro Lawn Mower have an uneven cutting height?
An uneven cutting height with your Toro Lawn Mower may be due to: blade(s) not being sharp (sharpen them); cutting blade(s) being bent (install new ones); the mower not being level (level it from side-to-side and front-to-rear); the gage wheel not set correctly (adjust the gage wheel height); the underside of the mower being dirty (clean it); or incorrect tire pressure (adjust it).
Why won't my Toro Lawn Mower engine start?
If your Toro Lawn Mower's engine won't start, starts hard, or stalls, there are several potential causes. First, ensure the fuel tank is filled with gasoline. If the tank isn't empty, check that the choke is turned ON. A dirty air cleaner can also cause these issues, so clean or replace the air cleaner element. Make sure the spark plug wires are securely connected to the spark plug. If the spark plugs are damaged, replace them with new, correctly gapped spark plugs. Lastly, a dirty fuel filter can be the culprit, so replace it if needed.
How to fix Toro 74225 Lawn Mower when the starter does not crank?
If the starter on your Toro Lawn Mower isn't cranking, make sure the blade control (PTO) is DISENGAGED and the parking brake is set. Ensure you are seated on the seat. If these aren't the issue, check if the battery is dead and charge it if necessary. Also, inspect the electrical connections for corrosion or looseness, ensuring they have good contact. Replace the fuse if it is blown.
Why won't my Toro Lawn Mower starter crank?
Your Toro Lawn Mower's starter might not crank due to several reasons: the blade control (PTO) may be engaged (disengage it); the parking brake might not be on (set it); you may not be seated (sit on the seat); the battery could be dead (charge it); electrical connections might be corroded or loose (check them); or a fuse could be blown (replace it). If none of these solve the issue, a relay or switch may be defective.
What to do if my Toro 74225 engine won't start or keeps stalling?
If your Toro Lawn Mower engine won't start, starts hard, or stalls, check these potential causes: the fuel tank could be empty (fill it with gasoline); the choke may not be on (move the choke lever to the on position); the air cleaner might be dirty (clean or replace the air cleaner element); spark plug wires could be loose (install the wires on the spark plug); the spark plugs may be faulty (install new, correctly gapped spark plugs); or the fuel filter could be dirty (replace the fuel filter).
