What to do if my Toro Lawn Mower engine does not start?
- RRichard DavisJul 28, 2025
If your Toro Lawn Mower engine doesn't start, starts hard, or fails to keep running, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the fuel tank isn't empty by filling it. Then, check that the choke is on. A dirty air cleaner can also be the culprit, so clean or replace it. Inspect the spark plug wire(s) to ensure they are properly connected. The spark plug(s) might be pitted, fouled, or have an incorrect gap, requiring replacement with a new, correctly gapped plug(s). Also, check for a dirty fuel filter and replace if needed. Ensure that you are using the correct fuel, and if not, drain the tank and refill with the proper type. Finally, check that the oil level in the crankcase is at the correct level, and add oil if it is low.
