  If your Toro Lawn Mower engine won't start, struggles to start, or stalls, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the fuel tank isn't empty and the fuel-shutoff valve is open. Check the oil level in the crankcase and add oil if it's low. Position the throttle control midway between the SLOW and FAST settings. Replace a dirty fuel filter and clean or replace a dirty air-cleaner element. Inspect the spark plug for fouling or improper gapping, adjusting or replacing it as needed. Also, verify the spark-plug wire connection. If the seat switch isn't working right, check the seat-switch indicator and replace the seat if needed. Finally, examine the electrical connections for corrosion, looseness, or damage, cleaning and reconnecting them as necessary.

  If the starter on your Toro Lawn Mower doesn't crank, there are several possible reasons. First, ensure the blade control switch (PTO) is disengaged and the parking brake is set. Also, make sure the drive levers are in the neutral lock position and that you are seated on the seat. If these aren't the problem, check if the battery is dead and charge it if necessary. Inspect the electrical connections for corrosion or looseness, and replace the fuse if it's blown.

  If your Toro Lawn Mower engine won't start, starts hard, or fails to keep running, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the fuel tank isn't empty and the fuel shutoff valve is open. Check that the oil level in the crankcase is adequate. For a cold engine, make sure the throttle control is midway between the “SLOW” and “FAST” positions, and the choke is in the “ON” position; for a warm engine, the choke should be “OFF”. Also, inspect the fuel filter for dirt and clean or replace the air cleaner element if it's dirty. Check the seat switch indicator and replace the seat if needed. Inspect all electrical connections, clean connector terminals, apply dielectric grease, and reconnect. Clean, adjust or replace the spark plug and check the spark plug wire connection.

Additionally, check if the engine pulley, idler pulley, or blade pulley is loose and tighten the appropriate pulley.

To resolve this, install new cutting blades, tighten the blade mounting bolt, tighten the engine mounting bolts, and tighten the appropriate pulley.

  If your Toro Lawn Mower engine is losing power, it could be due to several reasons. First, check if the engine load is excessive and reduce the ground speed. A dirty air cleaner can also cause power loss, so clean the air-cleaner element. Ensure that the oil level in the crankcase is adequate, adding oil if necessary. Additionally, inspect the cooling fins and air passages above the engine for any obstructions and remove them. Lastly, the vent hole in the fuel cap may be plugged, so clean or replace the fuel cap.
