  Your Yardworks lawn mower engine might fail to start due to several reasons: the blade control handle may be disengaged (engage it); the spark plug wire may be disconnected (connect it); the fuel tank may be empty or contain stale fuel (fill it with clean, fresh gasoline); the engine may not be primed (consult the engine manual); the spark plug may be faulty (clean, adjust the gap, or replace it); the fuel line may be blocked (clean it); or the engine may be flooded (wait a few minutes to restart, without priming).

  If your Yardworks lawn mower engine runs erratically, it could be due to a loose spark plug wire (connect and tighten it), a blocked fuel line or stale fuel (clean the fuel line and fill the tank with clean, fresh gasoline), a plugged gas cap vent (clear the vent), or water/dirt in the fuel system (drain the tank and carburetor, then refill with fresh fuel). For a dirty air cleaner or a carburetor out of adjustment, please refer to the engine manual.

  If your Yardworks lawn mower idles poorly, it could be due to a spark plug that is fouled, faulty, or has a gap that is too wide (reset the gap to .030” or replace the spark plug). For a carburetor that is improperly adjusted or a dirty air cleaner, please refer to the engine manual.

  If your Yardworks lawn mower isn't mulching grass, it might be because the grass is wet (do not mow when grass is wet; wait until it's dry), the grass is excessively high (mow once at a high cutting height, then again at the desired height, or make a narrower cutting path), or the blade is dull (sharpen or replace it).
