What to do when your Troy-Bilt gas walk-behind mower engine won't stay running

Fuel system problems often cause the engine to stall, so you'll need to rebuild or replace the carburetor if it won't stay running. Our fuel, ignition and compression problems video provides additional tips for troubleshooting fuel system problems.

Some engines stall if the gas cap vent gets clogged. Check your mower's gas cap and clear the vent if it has one. Tuning up the mower engine may also help keep the engine running as you mow the grass.

How to fix your Troy-Bilt gas walk-behind mower when it won't cut evenly

If the mower isn't cutting the grass evenly, first make sure that the wheels are set at the same height. If a wheel is damaged, replace it to ensure that the mower travels evenly over the lawn.

Also check that the blade is sharp and undamaged. A dull blade tatters rather than slices the ends of the grass, leaving the tips brown and dry. A damaged blade is off balance, so it cuts unevenly. Replace the blade if it's damaged.
