Why Toro TITAN MX5480 Lawn Mower engine will not start?
- B
  Benjamin JonesAug 15, 2025
  There are several reasons why your Toro Lawn Mower engine might not start. It could be due to an empty fuel tank, a closed fuel shutoff valve, or a low oil level in the crankcase. The throttle and choke may not be in the correct position. Other potential causes include a dirty fuel filter, dirt, water, or stale fuel in the fuel system, a dirty air cleaner, or a faulty spark plug. Also, check the spark plug wire connection and the seat switch indicator. Clean connector terminals thoroughly with electrical contact cleaner, apply dielectric grease and reconnect if electrical connections are corroded, loose or faulty.

  Uneven cutting height on your Toro Lawn Mower can be attributed to several factors. The blades might not be sharp or could be bent. The mower deck may not be level from side-to-side and front-to-rear. Also, check if the underside of the mower is dirty and clean it if necessary. Finally, ensure the tire pressure is correct and adjust if needed.

  Your Toro Lawn Mower engine might be losing power for several reasons. The engine load could be excessive, so try reducing the ground speed. A dirty air cleaner, low oil level in the crankcase, plugged cooling fins and air passages, or a plugged vent hole in the fuel cap could also be the cause. Additionally, check for dirt in the fuel filter.

Why Toro TITAN MX5480 blades do not rotate?

  Cristian HunterAug 28, 2025
  If the blades on your Toro Lawn Mower aren't rotating, it could be due to a worn, loose, or broken mower deck belt, so install a new deck belt. Also, check if the mower deck belt is off the pulley and install the mower deck pulley and check the idler pulley, idler arm and spring for correct position and function. Inspect the pump drive belt for wear, looseness, or breakage; check the belt tension or install a new belt. Finally, look for a broken or missing idler spring and replace it.

  Abnormal vibration in your Toro Lawn Mower can stem from several issues. The cutting blades might be bent or unbalanced, or the blade mounting bolt could be loose.
