Why won't my Toro Lawn Mower engine start?
- CCatherine KerrAug 16, 2025
There are several reasons why your Toro Lawn Mower engine might not start. It could be due to an empty fuel tank, so fill it with gasoline. The choke might not be on, so move the choke lever to the choke position. A loose or disconnected spark plug wire can also be the culprit, so install the wire on the spark plug. Other potential causes include a pitted, fouled, or incorrectly gapped spark plug (install a new one), a dirty air cleaner (service the air cleaner element), or dirt in the fuel filter (replace the fuel filter). For issues like dirt, water, or stale fuel in the fuel system, or an incorrect gap between the safety interlock switches, it is best to contact an Authorized Service Dealer.
