2. After your lawn mowing session is completed, you need to refill the
fuel and also check the level of oil. Commonly what happens is
that after finishing the lawn mowing, people just tend to put their
mower aside unattended all winter and when it is taken back for
lawn mowing, often forget to check the fuel and oil levels and so
the mower doesn’t start up appropriately.



Fill up the fuel to the desired level.
Ensure the motor oil level is proper in your
mower. Without proper levels of oil, it will
harm the engine.
Some two stroke engines require a mixture
of fuel and oil. So follow manufacturer’s
instructions thoroughly.

3. 
You need to look for the prime button, which would be red
or black in colour and usually it is located near the spark
plug. In order to force the fuel into the lines, you need to
push it 3 to 4 times; however, don’t overdo it else it will flood
the engine.

Remember not all lawn mowers possess a
prime button; in such case, just open the
throttle entirely for activating the choke.
Ensure the motor oil level is proper in your
mower. Without proper levels of oil, it will
harm the engine.

4. 
On to the rear or side of the motor, you would be able to see
the end of the spark plug that is sticking with a lid that
appears like a broad cable with a rubber cap fixed to it. This
facilitates the motor to operate smoothly, so you need to
ensure that the lid is securely fixed to the spark plug.

5. 
In order to keep the engine running smoothly after starting it,
you need to place the throttle lever in the middle to high
position so that consistent fuel is delivered to the engine.

6. 
In case your lawn mower is older and does not contain a
safety switch, ensure it’s steady and placed on level ground.
The latest lawn mowers come with an integral safety switch
which you require holding down when starting. When starting
up the mower, you need to pull and hold it.

7. 
When holding the starting lever support your arm and grip
the starter handle (fixed at the end of a string or cable) and
pull up speedily and tightly. You may need to repeat it
number of times before the motor starts up.


When starting up, if it clutters and sounds like starting
up, but really it doesn’t start up, you need to examine
the fuel level in the fuel tank.
If the required level of fuel is there and still it does not
start, you should examine whether the spark plug is
properly fixed or not.

8. 
Suppose you are still not able to start your mower, you need
to refer the manufacturer’s user manual and go over
lawnmower’s check up and troubleshooting procedure.
