    Why does my Toro Lawn Mower engine lose power?
    • L
      lbuchananSep 9, 2025
      If your Toro Lawn Mower engine loses power, first, try reducing the ground speed, as the engine load may be excessive. Next, check the air cleaner and clean it if it's dirty. Also, ensure the oil level in the crankcase is adequate; add oil if needed. Inspect the cooling fins and air passages under the engine blower housing, removing any obstructions. Check the spark plug(s) for damage or incorrect gap, and replace if necessary. If you suspect a blocked fuel tank vent, dirt in the fuel filter, dirt, water, or stale fuel in the fuel system, or incorrect fuel in the fuel tank, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.
