Why will my Toro Lawn Mower engine not start, starts hard, or fails to keep running?

If your Toro Lawn Mower engine will not start, starts hard, or fails to keep running, try these steps: Fill the fuel tank. Open the fuel shutoff valve. Add oil to the crankcase. Be sure that the throttle control is midway between the “SLOW” and “FAST” positions. Replace the fuel filter. Clean or replace the air cleaner element. Check the seat switch indicator and replace the seat if needed. Check the electrical connections for good contact; clean the connector terminals thoroughly with electrical contact cleaner, apply dielectric grease, and reconnect. Clean, adjust, or replace the spark plug. Check the spark plug wire connection. If the issue continues, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.
