Why won't my Toro 74236 Lawn Mower engine start?
- J
  Jennifer KnightAug 8, 2025
  If your Toro Lawn Mower engine won't start, starts hard, or fails to keep running, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the fuel tank isn't empty by filling it with gasoline. If that's not the issue, check if the choke is properly engaged. A dirty air cleaner can also cause problems, so clean or replace the air cleaner element. Inspect the spark plug wires to ensure they are securely connected. Pitted, fouled, or incorrectly gapped spark plugs should be replaced with new ones. Lastly, a dirty fuel filter can prevent the engine from starting, so replace it if necessary.

  If your Toro Lawn Mower engine is losing power, consider these potential causes. First, reduce your ground speed if the engine load is excessive. A dirty air cleaner can also cause power loss, so clean the air cleaner element. Check the oil level in the crankcase and add oil if it's low. Remove any obstructions from the cooling fins and air passages under the engine blower housing. Replace spark plugs if they are pitted, fouled, or have an incorrect gap. Ensure the vent in the fuel cap is open. Finally, replace the fuel filter if it's dirty.
