Why won't my YARDMAX Construction Equipment engine start?
- MMichele JohnsonJul 27, 2025
If your YARDMAX Construction Equipment's engine won't start, there are several potential reasons: * The spark plug wire may be disconnected. Ensure it's securely attached to the spark plug. * You might be out of fuel or using stale fuel. Refill with clean, fresh gasoline. * The engine or fuel valve might not be in the ON position. Make sure both are turned ON. * For a cold start, the choke lever needs to be in the CLOSE position. * A blocked fuel line could be the culprit. Try cleaning the fuel line. * The spark plug could be fouled. Clean, adjust the gap, or replace it. * The engine might be flooded. Wait a few minutes before restarting, and avoid priming. * The belt tension lever may be engaged. Disengage it before starting.
