You do not need to diagnose the problem yourself. Tell us what the machine is doing—or not doing—and include the make, model and a few photos if possible.

Won’t start

The engine will not fire, crank or restart after sitting.

Runs rough or surges

The engine hunts, idles poorly or will not run smoothly.

Bogs or lacks power

The machine loses power under load or will not reach full speed.

Fuel-system trouble

Stale fuel, leaks, carburetor concerns or a machine that only runs on choke.

Starting-system problems

Broken pull cord, starter trouble, no-crank or charging concerns.

Drive or belt problems

The wheels, deck, auger, impeller or self-propelled drive will not engage.

Smoke, oil or overheating

Unusual exhaust smoke, oil leaks, overheating or excessive oil use.

Maintenance and wear

Tune-ups, seasonal service, blade or chain sharpening, cables and common wear items.

Plan ahead

Seasonal equipment is easier to service before you need it.

Book mowers before spring growth and snowblowers before the first storm. Early booking leaves time to identify wear and source parts.
