Spark plug boot
A fouled or worn spark plug is one of the most common reasons a Toro mower won't start or runs rough mid-season. The good news? It's one of the easiest fixes. We stock genuine OEM Toro spark plugs and boots that match your exact engine, so you get reliable ignition every time you pull the cord.
Hard starts, sputtering, and weak power are all red flags your plug needs replacing. Check our full inventory of Toro lawn mower parts — we ship same-day and help ensure fit. Have your model number handy to find the exact replacement.
Toro engines run rich if your air filter is clogged, the carburetor needs cleaning, or fuel sits unused in the tank over winter. A fouled plug burns black carbon fast. Always start with a fresh air filter and clean fuel — then replace the plug if it's still dark or wet.
The spark plug screws into the engine head and ignites fuel. The boot is the rubber cap on the wire that connects to the plug top and delivers the spark. Both wear out — if your Toro won't spark even with a new plug, the boot or wire may be cracked or loose.
Look on the frame or under the seat for a metal tag with model, serial, and engine type. Toro uses different plugs for 4-cycle vs. 2-cycle engines, so model number is essential. Once you have it, we'll match you to the exact OEM plug and boot your engine needs.
While some generic plugs fit, OEM Toro plugs are engineered for your engine's specific heat range and gap. Genuine parts start easier, burn cleaner, and last longer. Since we stock OEM at the same price as aftermarket, there's no reason to compromise — order the genuine plug.

On most Toro lawn mowers, the model number is printed on a metal or paper identification label on the frame near the blade deck, under the seat on riding models, or on the engine housing.
