Engine Won’t Start
One of the most frequent complaints among lawn mower owners is an engine that refuses to start. This problem often stems from stale fuel that has been sitting in the tank over winter or between uses. Gasoline begins to deteriorate after about thirty days, forming deposits that can clog the carburettors and fuel lines. Other culprits include a dirty or disconnected spark plug, a clogged air filter, or simply an empty gas tank. Before assuming the worst, check these basic components first. Sometimes the solution is as simple as replacing old fuel with fresh gasoline or cleaning the spark plug.
Uneven Cutting Performance
Nothing is more annoying than mowing your entire lawn only to discover patches of uneven grass heights creating an unsightly striped pattern. Uneven cutting typically results from dull or damaged blades that tear grass rather than cutting it cleanly. Blades should be sharpened at least once per season or more frequently if you’re mowing over rough terrain. Additionally, check that your mower deck is level and properly adjusted. An unbalanced deck will cause one side to cut lower than the other, creating those telltale uneven stripes across your lawn.

Excessive Vibration and Noise
While lawn mowers are never completely quiet, excessive vibration or unusual noises signal underlying problems that shouldn’t be ignored. Loose or unbalanced blades are often the main offenders, creating violent shaking that can damage other mower components over time. A bent blade from hitting rocks or tree roots can throw the entire cutting system out of balance. Loose engine mounting bolts or worn engine bearings might also contribute to increased vibration. Addressing these issues promptly prevents more serious and expensive damage down the road.
Poor Performance and Stalling
A lawn mower that starts but runs roughly, loses power, or stalls frequently is telling you something needs attention. A clogged air filter restricts airflow and suffocates the engine, while a dirty carburettor prevents proper fuel delivery. Old spark plugs that are fouled or incorrectly gapped can cause misfiring and poor performance. Regular maintenance addressing these components keeps your mower running at peak efficiency and prevents those mid-mow breakdowns that leave half your lawn looking shaggy.
