  Ryan GilesAug 13, 2025
  If your Toro Lawn Mower engine won't start, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the fuel tank isn't empty by filling it. Next, check that the choke is engaged by moving the choke lever to the 'On' position. Also, inspect the air filter; a dirty air filter should be cleaned or replaced. Make sure the spark plug wire is securely connected to the spark plug. Examine the spark plug itself for damage or incorrect gapping, replacing it if necessary. Check the fuel filter for dirt and replace if needed. Ensure you're using the correct type of fuel; if not, drain and replace it. Finally, verify the oil level in the crankcase and add oil if it's low.

  If the starter on your Toro Lawn Mower doesn't crank, there are several things to check. Ensure that the blade control switch is disengaged.

  Abnormal vibration in your Toro Lawn Mower can stem from several sources. Start by checking if the engine mounting bolts are loose and tighten them. Inspect the engine pulley, idler pulley, or blade pulley for looseness and tighten the appropriate one. Also, examine the cutting blades for bending or imbalance, replacing them if necessary. Finally, ensure that the blade mounting bolt is securely tightened.

What to do if my Toro 74625 blades do not rotate?

  Larry DiazSep 8, 2025
  If the blades on your Toro Lawn Mower aren't rotating, first check if the drive belt is worn, loose, or broken and install a new one. Also, inspect whether the drive belt is off the pulley; if so, install the drive belt and check the adjusting shafts and belt guides for the correct position. Another possible reason is that the mower belt is worn, loose, or broken, then install a new mower belt.
