Why Toro TITAN ZX 5400 Lawn Mower engine will not start?
- SShane HodgesAug 23, 2025
Several factors can prevent your Toro Lawn Mower engine from starting. Ensure the fuel tank is full and the fuel shutoff valve is open. Check that the oil level in the crankcase is adequate. For a cold engine, make sure the choke is in the 'ON' position, and for a warm engine, ensure it's in the 'OFF' position. Also, the throttle control should be midway between the 'SLOW' and 'FAST' positions. Other potential issues include a dirty fuel filter (replace it), a dirty air cleaner (clean or replace it), a faulty spark plug (clean, adjust, or replace it), or a disconnected spark plug wire (check the connection). Check the seat switch indicator and replace the seat if needed. Finally, inspect electrical connections for corrosion or looseness, cleaning and reconnecting them as necessary.
