Why Troy-Bilt Automatic Lawn Tractor Lawn Mower engine fails to start?
- DDouglas HarrisAug 20, 2025
If your Troy-Bilt Lawn Mower engine fails to start, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the PTO/Blade is disengaged by placing the knob or lever in the OFF position. Check that the spark plug wire is securely connected to the spark plug. Verify that the fuel tank isn't empty and contains clean, fresh gas (less than 30 days old). Make sure the choke is activated by placing the throttle control in the CHOKE position. Inspect the spark plug for faults, cleaning, adjusting the gap, or replacing it as necessary. Check for a blocked fuel line, cleaning it and replacing the fuel filter. If the engine is flooded, crank it with the throttle in the FAST position. Ensure the parking brake is engaged, and the throttle control lever is in the correct starting (FAST) position.
