  Matthew YoungAug 1, 2025
  Your Toro Lawn Mower might start hard or lose power for several reasons. Stale fuel in the fuel tank could be the culprit; drain the tank and refill it with fresh gasoline. Also, check if the fuel cap vent hole is plugged and clean it or replace the fuel cap if needed. A dirty air filter restricting airflow can also cause this issue, so clean the air filter pre-cleaner and/or replace the paper air filter. Additionally, ensure the underside of the lawn mower deck is free of clippings and debris. Check the engine oil; change it if it's dirty or add oil if it's low. Finally, inspect the spark plug and adjust the gap if necessary or replace it if pitted, fouled, or cracked.

  If your Toro Lawn Mower engine is running rough, start by checking the wire connected to the spark plug and ensure it's secure. Next, inspect the spark plug itself; if it's pitted, fouled, or the gap is incorrect, adjust the gap or replace the spark plug. Lastly, a dirty air filter can cause this issue, so clean the air filter pre-cleaner and/or replace the paper air filter.
