Why my Toro Lawn Mower engine does not start?
- T
  toddwalshAug 15, 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.

Why does my Toro Lawn Mower engine lose power?
- G
  Gregory MuellerAug 18, 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.

What to do if my Toro TimeCutter SS3225 engine overheats?
- L
  laura78Aug 28, 2025
  If the engine of your Toro Lawn Mower is overheating, several factors could be the cause. 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 any obstructions and remove them. Also, a dirty air cleaner can cause overheating, so clean or replace the air-cleaner element. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the problem might be related to dirt, water, or stale fuel in the fuel system, which requires contacting an Authorized Service Dealer.

  If the starter on your Toro Lawn Mower isn't cranking, there are a few things you can check. First, make sure the blade-control switch is disengaged. Ensure the motion-control levers are in the PARK position. If the battery is dead, charge it. Check the electrical connections for any corrosion or looseness and ensure they have good contact. Also, inspect the fuse and replace it if it's blown. For issues like a damaged relay or switch, it's recommended to contact an Authorized Service Dealer.
