Why is my electric lawn mower not starting?
Being unable to get your electric mower started is often not a problem with the lawn mower, but is usually caused by a fault with the extension lead being used. To test this try turning the lawnmower on without using the extension lead. If this doesn’t work try using an alternative plug socket and checking the fuse. Pull cord resistance and engine cranking without ignition are frequent issues. If your lawn mower pulls but won’t start, check the spark plug for fouling or damage. Clean or replace it if necessary. Inspect the fuel system for stale gas or clogged carburetor jets.If your mower engine is turning over but not starting, the most likely culprit is a fuel-related issue. The carburetor may be clogged, or the fuel may be stale, preventing proper combustion. Another possibility is a faulty spark plug that’s not providing the necessary spark to ignite the fuel.Often your nose can make the diagnosis: Flooded engines reek of unburned fuel. Park the mower on level ground, and wait about 15 minutes for the gas to evaporate. Then try starting it again, with the choke off.A lawnmower that starts and then stops can be terribly frustrating, but it’s usually an easy problem to fix. The most common causes of this problem are old fuel, a clogged air filter, or a carburettor that needs cleaning.Petrol starts to degrade after just a few weeks, especially when exposed to air. Over time, it becomes less effective, and residues can build up in the fuel system, particularly in the carburettor. This can cause your mower to “hunt” (run unevenly) or fail to start altogether.
How to start an Ozito battery lawn mower?
To start the mower you push the red button, then push the safety bar hard to the right. This means pushing it sideways. Electric lawn mowers usually just have a “Start” button instead of pull starting, making it much easier to begin cutting your lawn.The middle setting usually cuts grass to around 2 inches, which is often too short. The correct setting for most lawn mowers is the highest one.
