Despite how much you might take care of your mower and how carefully you ensure that it’s always in the best shape possible, sometimes things just don’t work like you want them to. There is a variety of reasons this might happen, so if your mower does not start on a day you’ve set aside for a substantial cut, make sure you go over these easy-fix methods before you panic.
Disconnected, dirty, or loose spark plug - Remove the spark plug from the mower and give it a quick clean. If it’s disconnected or loose, then reattach it.
Blocked air filter - You must clean it, or, if this is a few years of build-up, you might need to replace it altogether.
Fuel isn’t reaching the engine - Give the side of the carburetor a quick knock or tap to help encourage the flow of the fuel.
If none of these methods work, then you should check your manufacturer’s warranty and organize replacement parts. You may have to save your big day of mowing time for next week.
