For seasonal mowers, replace the plug at the start of each mowing season or every 100 operating hours. If you mow year-round, swap it annually. A fresh plug costs less than a week of struggling starts and rough idle. Keep a spare on hand during peak season.
A new plug only works if your ignition coil and fuel system are healthy. If the mower still won't start after a plug replacement, check that fuel is reaching the carburetor, inspect the ignition coil for cracks, and confirm the recoil starter is pulling smoothly. We carry all three—our parts experts can walk you through diagnosis."
