Troubleshooting your Western Auto gas walk-behind mower when it won't move

Check the drive control cable when your lawn mower won't move because the drive cable can stretch over time. Replace the control cable if it's damaged. A worn or broken drive belt will also prevent the mower from moving so check the belt next. Adjust the drive belt or replace it if it's broken.

A failed transmission, broken front deck tray or broken wheel can also cause drive system problems. If your lawn mower won't move, watch our motion drive troubleshooting video to figure out the problem with your mower's drive system.

Top replacement parts for Western Auto gas walk-behind lawn mowers

• Carburetor rebuild kit. The carburetor rebuild kit includes gaskets, seals, a hinge pin and other components to refurbish the carburetor.
• Drive belt. The drive belt connects the engine pulley on the crankshaft to the pulley on the drive gear case. The gear case rotates the wheels to propel the mower.
• Ignition coil. Located next to the flywheel, the ignition coil generates electric current to fire the spark plug when flywheel magnets spin past the ignition coil. The ignition coil sends the electric current to the spark plug at the proper time to ignite the fuel in the cylinder.
• Starter rope. The starter rope is a heavy nylon cord that coils around the pulley of the recoil starter. The user pulls it to start the engine. The spring-loaded pulley on the recoil starter retracts the starter rope when the user releases it.
