Why my Toro TimeCutter 74711 engine does not start?

  Kirsten HuntAug 14, 2025
  If your Toro Lawn Mower's engine doesn't start, starts with difficulty, or won't stay running, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the fuel tank isn't empty by filling it. If your model has a choke, make sure it's turned on. A dirty air cleaner can also cause issues, so clean or replace it. Check that the spark plug wire is securely connected to the spark plug. Inspect the spark plug itself; if it's damaged or improperly gapped, replace it with a new one. Also, check for a dirty fuel filter and replace if needed. If there is incorrect fuel in the fuel tank, drain the tank and replace the fuel with the proper type. Finally, verify that the oil level in the crankcase is sufficient and add oil if low.

  Jessica WeberAug 17, 2025
  If your Toro Lawn Mower engine is losing power, consider these potential causes: The engine load might be too high, so reduce the ground speed. A dirty air cleaner can restrict airflow, so clean the air-cleaner element. Check the oil level in the crankcase and add oil if necessary. Clear any obstructions from the cooling fins and air passages under the engine blower housing. Replace the spark plug(s) if it is pitted, fouled, or the gap is incorrect. If there is incorrect fuel in the fuel tank, drain the tank and replace the fuel with the proper type. For issues like a blocked fuel-tank vent, dirt, water, or stale fuel in the fuel system, it's best to contact an Authorized Service Dealer. Also, if there is dirt in the fuel filter, replace the fuel filter.
