How to troubleshoot starting issues with my Toro LX420, LX460 Lawn Mower?
- L
  laurie47Aug 12, 2025
  If your Toro Lawn Mower engine won't start, make sure the PTO (Blade Engage) lever is in the OFF position and the parking brake is engaged. Check that the spark plug wire is connected and the throttle/choke control is in the CHOKE position. Ensure the fuel tank has clean, fresh gas (less than 30 days old) and that the fuel line isn't blocked. Also, inspect the spark plug for faults, and if the engine is flooded, crank it with the throttle in the FAST position.

What to do if my Toro LX420, LX460 Lawn Mower will not mulch grass?

  Nancy DavilaAug 16, 2025
  If your Toro Lawn Mower is not mulching grass effectively, ensure the throttle is in the FAST position. Avoid mowing wet grass and, if the grass is excessively high, mow at a high cutting height first, then again at the desired height, or make a narrower cutting swath. Also, check if the blade is dull and sharpen or replace it.

Why does my Toro LX420, LX460 engine run erratic?

  zsimmonsAug 20, 2025
  If your Toro Lawn Mower engine runs erratically, first ensure the Throttle/Choke Control is not in the CHOKE position. Check and tighten the spark plug wires, and make sure the fuel line is clean and the fuel is fresh (less than 30 days old). Also, check if the vent in the gas cap is plugged, and drain the fuel tank if there's water or dirt in the fuel system. Finally, inspect the air cleaner and replace the paper element or clean the foam precleaner if dirty.

  If your Toro Lawn Mower is giving an uneven cut, you should perform a side-to-side deck adjustment. Check to see if the blade is dull and needs sharpening or replacing. Also, make sure the tire pressure is even in all four tires.
