3 Easy Fixes for Engines That Won’t Start (Tip #2 Saves Time!)
If your lawn mower or small engine refuses to start, a few simple checks can often solve the problem. At Quick and Mobile Wildwood Small Engine Repair, we see these issues daily, and most are caused by basic maintenance problems. Here are the three fastest steps to try before scheduling a service call.
1. Check the Spark Plug
A dirty or worn spark plug is one of the most common causes of an engine not starting. Remove it, clean it, or replace it if needed. A fresh plug often restores ignition immediately. If you are unsure how to check it, our mobile small engine repair service can do the test on-site.
2. Replace Old Fuel
Old or stale fuel prevents the engine from firing. Drain the tank, add fresh gasoline, and try again. This quick fix saves time and often solves the issue within minutes. If old fuel has clogged the system, we offer full fuel system cleaning as part of our mobile repair service.
3. Clean the Carburetor
A blocked carburetor stops fuel flow and keeps the engine from starting. Our technicians provide carburetor cleaning, adjustments, and rebuilding for all mower and small engine types.
Quick and Mobile Wildwood Small Engine Repair offers on-site mower repair, tune-ups, carburetor service, and full diagnostics throughout Wildwood. If these steps do not fix the problem, we can come to your location and repair it quickly.
