  If your Troy-Bilt Lawn and Garden Equipment engine won't start, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the fuel tank isn't empty; if it is, fill it with properly mixed fuel. If the fuel is fresh, make sure you've pressed the primer bulb adequately—about 10 times, or until fuel is visible. Another common issue is a flooded engine; try squeezing the throttle control while pulling the starter rope until the engine starts. Old or improperly mixed fuel (over 30 days) can also be a culprit, so drain the tank and refill with fresh, properly mixed fuel. Lastly, a fouled spark plug can prevent starting, so consider replacing it.

What to do if the cutting head will not advance line on my Troy-Bilt TB2044?

  If the cutting line on your Troy-Bilt Lawn and Garden Equipment won't advance, several issues could be at play. First, check if the cutting head is bound with grass; if so, stop the engine and clean it. Also, ensure the cutting head has enough line by refilling it with new line. A bound-up inner reel can also cause problems, so clean the inner reel and outer spool. If the cutting head is dirty, open it and remove any welded sections. If the line is welded, rewind it. If the line is twisted, stop the unit, push the bump knob, and pull the line until 4 inches (102 mm) extends outside the cutting head. Finally, if not enough line is extended, clean and thoroughly dry the cutting head.
