Why does my Toro Tractor engine start but not keep running?
- TTimothy SalazarAug 25, 2025
If your Toro Tractor engine starts but then stops, a restricted fuel tank vent could be the issue; try loosening the cap. If the engine runs with the cap loosened, replace the cap. Also, check for dirt or water in the fuel system and flush it out, replacing it with fresh fuel. Ensure the fuel filter isn't clogged by replacing it. Finally, make sure there is no air in the fuel by bleeding the nozzles and checking for air leaks at the fuel hose connections and fittings between the fuel tank and the engine.
