Mobile Lawn Mower Repair in Fayetteville, NC

Local Lawn Mower Repair

Like any small engine, lawn mowers will eventually break down and need to be repaired. A high powered machine such as a riding or push lawn mower endures years of heavy use, cutting through thick brush, rolling over yard debris, and bumping into objects. It’s no surprise that eventually, your mower will just give up. 

Nevertheless, our mobile lawn mower repair team will help you quickly diagnose whatever is stopping your machine from functioning properly, and remediate the problem as fast as possible.

With our efficient service and knowledge of small engine repair we’ve accumulated over years of experience in the industry, you’ll be back to cultivating that perfect landscape in no time. 

Now, let’s dig into some of the reasons why that power cutter of yours took a nap on you. There are generally two reasons why a lawn mower may not start, and depending on the severity of each problem, you may indeed need a mobile lawn mower repairman to assist you with a quick fix.

Spark Plug Replacement & Repair

The first reason has to do with a malfunctioning spark plug. The spark plug is essential for any mower or other small engine and if it's damaged or disconnected in any way, it’s unlikely you’ll be doing yard work any time soon.

Locating and Disconnecting the Spark Plug

Over time, spark plugs can become covered by grass clipping, dirt, mud, and other debris that caused it to become disconnected or defective. The brand and small engine will determine the location of your spark plug but in most cases it can be found on the side of the engine hidden by a rubber cap. 

Some of the problems associated with the spark plugs include the following:

• Disconnected wire: The plug wire may have come completely disconnected during machine use which happens frequently. Even if it’s slightly disconnected, this could be enough to cause issues during the starting process.

 

• Loose spark plug: After heavy use, sometimes the entire spark plug can get loose and disconnected from the engine. We can quickly fix this issue with our repair tools if need be.

 

• Debris in Engine: Dirt and debris can easily accumulate in the engine after consecutive uses of your lawn mower. When this occurs, it can clog up your engine interior and compromise your starter system. Our cleaning crew will happily assist you with a congested engine and clean your spark plug and surrounding engine, just give us a quick call and we’ll arrive in a few short minutes.

​

• Deterioration: Consistent use and rough terrain will eventually cause your spark plug to wear down and become defective over time. If this is the case it’s time for a replacement. The industry rule is that over about 100 hours, the spark plug should be examined and replaced if need be. We can easily do these replacements for you. ​

Air Filter Cleaning & Maintenance

Running your mower with a dirty or debris-ridden air filter will slowly deteriorate your lawn mower engine. That’s why it’s important to regularly check the filter so that the mower doesn’t break down mid run. 

In most cases, your air filter will cause the following problems in your lawn mower:

• Loss of Power: The mower loses power in the middle of mowing your lawn and is unable to restart.

 

• Excessive Fuel Consumption: If you regularly need to refill the gas tank or you suspect that the engine is running through gas much faster than normal, it’s probably a sign that your engine is overheating. When the air filter is clogged, the engine will use more fuel to compensate for the slow air travel.

 

• Engine Sputtering: If your engine is spurting or has an irregular sound, it’s most likely as sign it is not drawing enough air intake.

Cleaning the Filter

If your riding mower, weed whacker, or other small engine is experiencing the above issues, give us a call and we’ll gladly check the air filters and give them a thorough cleaning. It’s important to get a professional cleaning done in order to mitigate any harm or damage your engine will incur over time. 

​
Replacing the Filter

It’s better to replace your air filter if it’s over a year old rather than just cleaning it. Over time an outdated air filter will cause damage to your engine. Rather than cleaning an old one, it’s more cost effective to get your air filter replaced. In the long run, you’d rather want to pay for an air filter than a new engine or mower.

Engine and Fuel Trouble

On top of the spark plug and air filter issues mentioned previously, your engine may be suffering from engine overload or fuel cap problems. In some instances, the fuel cap can also become clogged with debris. This is an easy fix that we can solve in a few minutes.

If the problems are stemming from your lawn mower engine, it’s best to call us for an inspection. Engine problems are usually more complex and require a certified mechanic to handle in a safe way. 

Whatever the issue may be, our repair team at Fayetteville Mobile Lawn Mower Repair will gladly come to you for a diagnosis and offer you a free quote upon inspection.
