What to do if my Toro Lawn Mower engine will not start?

If your Toro Lawn Mower engine will not start, starts hard, or fails to keep running, try these steps: Fill the fuel tank, open the fuel shutoff valve, add oil to the crankcase. Ensure the throttle control is midway between the “SLOW” and “FAST” positions, and the choke is in the “ON” position for a cold engine or the “OFF” position for a warm engine. Replace the fuel filter. Clean or replace the air cleaner element. Check the seat switch indicator and replace the seat if needed. Check the electrical connections, clean connector terminals with electrical contact cleaner, apply dielectric grease and reconnect. Clean, adjust, or replace the spark plug. Check the spark plug wire connection.
