What to do if Troy-Bilt 13an77kg011 is not mulching grass?

  Michael KingAug 21, 2025
  If your Troy-Bilt lawn mower isn't mulching grass effectively, consider these factors: ensure the engine speed isn't too low by placing the throttle in FAST (rabbit) position. Avoid mulching when the grass is wet. If the grass is excessively high, mow once at a high cutting height, then mow again at your desired height, or make a narrower cutting swath. Finally, check if the blade is dull; if so, sharpen or replace it.

  Your Troy-Bilt lawn mower engine may overheat if the engine oil level is low; fill the crankcase with the proper amount and weight of oil. Also, overheating can occur if airflow is restricted; clean grass clippings and debris from around the engine’s cooling fins and blower housing.

  An uneven cut with your Troy-Bilt lawn mower can result from a deck that is not leveled properly; perform a side-to-side deck adjustment. Another cause could be a dull blade, so sharpen or replace the blade. Finally, check for uneven tire pressure in all four tires.

  Excessive vibration in your Troy-Bilt lawn mower can be caused by a cutting blade that is loose or unbalanced; tighten the blade and spindle, and balance the blade. Alternatively, the cutting blade may be damaged or bent; replace the blade in this case.

  If your Troy-Bilt lawn mower engine idles roughly, it could be due to a spark plug that is fouled, faulty, or has a gap that is too wide; replace the spark plug and set the plug gap. Alternatively, a dirty air cleaner can cause rough idling; replace the air cleaner element and/or clean the pre-cleaner.
