  If the Toro Lawn Mower's engine won't start, starts hard, or stalls, several factors could be at play. Ensure the fuel tank is filled with gasoline and the choke is properly engaged. A dirty air cleaner can also cause issues, so clean or replace the air cleaner element. Check the spark plug wires to ensure they are securely connected. Pitted, fouled, or incorrectly gapped spark plugs should be replaced. Also, a dirty fuel filter can prevent the engine from starting, so replace it if necessary. For issues related to dirt, water, or stale fuel in the fuel system, it's best to contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

  If the starter of your Toro Lawn Mower doesn't crank, it could be due to several reasons. First, ensure the blade control (PTO) is disengaged and the parking brake is set. Also, the operator must be seated for the starter to engage. Check if the battery is dead and charge it if necessary. Corroded or loose electrical connections can also prevent the starter from cranking, so check these for good contact. If the fuse is blown, replace it. For defective relays or switches, it is recommended to contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

  If your Toro Lawn Mower engine loses power, there might be several reasons. Excessive engine load can cause power loss, so reduce ground speed. A dirty air cleaner can also contribute, so clean the air cleaner element. Check the oil level in the crankcase and add oil if it is low. Make sure that cooling fins and air passages under the engine blower housing are free from obstructions. Replace pitted, fouled, or incorrectly gapped spark plugs. Ensure the vent in the fuel cap is open. Replace the fuel filter if it's dirty. For issues related to dirt, water, or stale fuel in the fuel system, it's best to contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

  Kenneth RamirezSep 1, 2025
  If your Toro Lawn Mower has an uneven cutting height, several factors could be contributing. Dull blades can cause uneven cutting, so sharpen the blades. Bent cutting blades can also lead to this issue, so install new cutting blades. Ensure the mower is level from side-to-side and front-to-rear. Check that the gage wheel is set correctly and adjust the gage wheel height if needed. A dirty underside of the mower can also affect cutting height, so clean it. Finally, incorrect tire pressure can cause uneven cutting, so adjust the tire pressure. For bent blade spindles, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.
