Why does my Toro TimeCutter MX 5075 Lawn Mower engine not start, starts hard, or fails to keep running?
- N
  Nathan DunlapAug 23, 2025
  Several factors can cause this issue. First, ensure the fuel tank isn't empty by filling it. If your model has a choke, make sure it's on. A dirty air cleaner can also be the culprit, so clean or replace it. Check that the spark-plug wire(s) is securely connected to the spark plug. Inspect the spark plug(s) for pitting, fouling, or incorrect gap, and replace if necessary. Other potential causes include a dirty fuel filter (replace it) or low oil level in the crankcase (add oil).

  Several factors can cause this issue. The fuel tank might be empty, so refill it. The air cleaner could be dirty, requiring cleaning or replacement. Check if the spark plug wire(s) is loose or disconnected and install the wire(s) on the spark plug. A spark plug(s) may be pitted, fouled, or have an incorrect gap, so install a new, correctly gapped spark plug(s). The fuel filter may be dirty, so replace it. The oil level in the crankcase might be low, so add oil to the crankcase. Finally, ensure that you are using the correct fuel type; if not, drain the tank and replace the fuel with the proper type.

Why is my Toro Lawn Mower cutting height uneven?
- J
  James BowmanAug 26, 2025
  An uneven cutting height on your Toro Lawn Mower can be due to several reasons. The blade(s) may not be sharp, so sharpen the blade(s). A cutting blade(s) may be bent, so install a new cutting blade(s). The mower might not be level, so level the mower from side-to-side and front-to-rear. An anti-scalp wheel may not be set correctly, so adjust the anti-scalp wheel height. The underside of the mower could be dirty, so clean it. Finally, the tire pressure might be incorrect, so adjust the tire pressure.

Why is my Toro Lawn Mower engine overheating?
- J
  Jessica HernandezAug 27, 2025
  Several factors can cause your Toro Lawn Mower engine to overheat. First, the engine load might be excessive, so reduce the ground speed. Second, check the oil level in the crankcase and add oil if it is low. Third, obstructions in the cooling fins and air passages under the engine-blower housing can cause overheating; remove any obstructions. Fourth, a dirty air cleaner can contribute to the problem, so clean or replace the air-cleaner element. If the issue persists, there may be dirt, water, or stale fuel in the fuel system, in which case you should contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

Why does my Toro Lawn Mower engine lose power?
- H
  hnguyenAug 29, 2025
  If your Toro Lawn Mower engine loses power, consider the following potential causes: * The engine load may be too high; reduce the ground speed. * A dirty air cleaner can restrict airflow; clean the air-cleaner element. * Low oil level in the crankcase can cause power loss; add oil. * Blocked cooling fins and air passages under the engine blower housing can lead to overheating and power loss; remove any obstructions. * Faulty spark plug(s) (pitted, fouled, or with an incorrect gap) can reduce engine power; install a new, correctly gapped spark plug(s). For issues such as a blocked fuel-tank vent, dirt in the fuel filter, dirt, water, or stale fuel in the fuel system, or incorrect fuel in the fuel tank, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

What to do if my Toro TimeCutter MX 5075 engine overheats?
- J
  James FloresSep 1, 2025
  If your Toro Lawn Mower engine is overheating, there are several possible causes. First, try reducing the ground speed, as the engine load may be excessive. Check the oil level in the crankcase and add oil if it's low. Inspect the cooling fins and air passages under the engine-blower housing for obstructions and remove them. Also, check if the air cleaner is dirty and clean or replace it. If these steps don't resolve the issue, it could be due to dirt, water, or stale fuel in the fuel system, in which case you should contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

A dirty air cleaner can also cause this, so clean the air-cleaner element. Check the oil level in the crankcase and add oil if needed.

What to do if my Toro TimeCutter MX 5075 Lawn Mower blades do not rotate?
- A
  Allison MooreSep 4, 2025
  If the blades on your Toro Lawn Mower aren't rotating, it could be due to a worn, loose, or broken drive belt, in which case you should install a new one. Alternatively, the drive belt might be off the pulley; reinstall it and check the adjusting shafts and belt guides for correct positioning. It could also be due to worn, loose, or broken mower belt and you should install a new mower belt. For a faulty power-takeoff (PTO) switch or PTO clutch, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

  Marcus KaufmanSep 6, 2025
  If your Toro Lawn Mower is vibrating excessively, check the following: Tighten any loose engine-mounting bolts. Ensure the engine pulley, idler pulley, or blade pulley is tightened appropriately. If the cutting blade(s) is bent or unbalanced, install a new cutting blade(s). Also, tighten any loose blade-mounting bolts.
