- Is your mower not shutting off? Well in this video, I will be showing you how to fix a lawn mower that won't shut off when you release the handle. in this case, the lawn mower is not shutting off because the control bracket is not making contact with the switch stop, thus not grounding out the engine when the handle is released. You have to pull the spark plug to turn off the lawn mower. I hope you enjoy this video of a lawn mower that will not turn off. Easy fix that can be done by most DIY professionals.

Thank you Fill! My mower was having this problem and you're the only video I found for what I needed. Liked and subscribed.
Thanks Scotty! I appreciate the comment, like, and sub. Have a great day 👍🏻 I'm glad this video was a help!
Mr Fill I’m so pleased on your great information on the fix. I have been struggling for two years bending down to remove the plug for spark plug. I did what you said and now she is fixed. Five Stars young man.
I’m turning 65 in 3 weeks this sure is a birthday present thank you.
If you know about old toro snowblowers I will be checking back.
Thanks again Houli.
Not all heroes wear capes! This video came in handy in a pickle, thanks!
Relatable ❤
What a frustration saver,thanks a million bro, awesome video
Thanks so much for your video! That pulling out spark plug boot trick saved me! The mower was running into the night and I was worried neighbours would come and kill me...
Thanks a lot for your amazing help. I did the repair to my lawnmower. 👍
U r a life saver 👍👍
We had to do it today as our mower stuck s as nd did not 🛑 stop 😝😝
Thanks heaps 👍👍
Thanks! I was having the same issue with my Toro Recycler mower.
Thank you very much for your tips! We were stuck with the problem and found your video! The problem solved. 🙏
This is info that everyone should have so we are always prepared
Thank you for your support
Fill going through your videos gave me the confidence and some extra needed knowledge to start up. Thank you bro. Keep up the good work
Thanks for watching and giving me positive feedback. Anything to help someone else 👍🏼👍🏼
Very smart lawnmower tech!
Simple fix.. thanks for the video
Thanks very much. This pointed me in the right direction. I found some debris preventing contact. I can handle a fix that only requires removing 2 screws!
I will try that, sounds simple enough thank you
This video was so helpful! Thank you!
Thanks for these tips
Thanks for the video this fix my lawn mower
Thanks for the tutorial video pal
Thanks for that info !
Thank you Sir . This works great
Thanks for your video. I bought a mower for about 15 dollars and it won't stop. I wondered about the brake. I noticed a piece loose near the brake and I now know it's that tab u bent down. I'll see if I can remount it and hopefully it holds and I'll make sure it touches and test it. Thanks for the video. Appreciate it
Wow awesome i have the very same problem thanks dude
You save my day!
Thank you, you made this easy for me to turn off ❤🙏
Thank you!!!
Thanks I have this problem and I was able to use a flat screwdriver and pry/rotate the contact to close the gap enough without removing the cover on my craftsman Briggs n Stratton mower. I learned about magnetos in school years ago. The old machines had a contact which could be pressed down onto the top of the spark plug and ground the magneto. Same thing.
Thanks for sharing
Gonna have to try this on my craftsman mower
Thank you sir I have looked and che ked everything I could think of I should have known it was grounding out I checked the brilliant wire again than you sir 😀!
Hi Fill. Very useful video. It was quite shocking to experience my lawn mower won’t shut off. I will make the adjustments and see how it goes.
Let me know how it goes 😁
Good video Fill!
Thanks Kyle 👍🏻
Good one fill .
Thanks Doc
Will check that! I have a sense that my cable is not sliding in the sheath, though.
thk U !!! Great VID !!
Thank you. I have a craftsman would the same fix work. Thanks
Great video
Thank you Kathy!
Thank you 🤭😁😁😁
Great video solved my problem
Awesome!
THANKS!
You're welcome thanks for watching 👍🏻
Good one.
Thanks Rob
Thanks Fill
No problem!
Good video Fill
Thanks Mac!
A blessing that you teach us how to fix a mower that won't shut off .. but even if it's an older mower does this method still work ? Will it be in the same place as a older mower .
Fill thank you. Would it work for a Briggs engine on a craftsman
Do you know how to fix this in a ryobi electric mower? I haven’t found a video yet just started happening yesterday
I had that problem with the same style Quantum engine but it was a manufacturing/assembly defect. It would eventually stop with just the brake until I bent the bottom contact upward.
Thanks for sharing 👍🏼
I completely stripped my mower a few weeks ago to give it a good clean and to paint the deck, etc, but when I put it back together it has this problem where it won't turn off. But I can hear a little switch clicking when I release the handle, and the cable has a little slack when released. It's a bit strange.
I can get it to turn off if I push the lever that the cable is attached to, so it might just be that there's a bit of crap stuck in there or something. Or maybe the kill switch is clicking but not activating. Looks like I'll have to go at it again and see if I messed up somewhere.
Would this fix work the same way on a Honda HRN 216?
YOU DA MAAAAAN. Borrowed this mower from my father-in-law and the damn thing would not turn off. I have never had this s*** happen before.
Facing my current issues of no start, i'll trade mowers with you.
Hey! I have a JD JA60. Not shutting off but i verified the stop switch is making contact (it presses it up slightly as it slides into place and even when i press it down with a flathead)
What would be the next step? Can you do a video on the brake/flywheel?
Subscribed btw!
Can you help me? We had the same problem pulled off the cap to the spark plug but now when we go to start it up again it won't start. Disengage the off button and still not start put a new spark plug and still will will not start
Hey Fill I’m having this exact issue on a Craftsman mower. Hit a big rock and it wouldn’t shut off after that. The impact did something to it. I’ll go check to see if your video’s instructions solve the problem. What should I look for next if that doesn’t do the trick?
Check to make sure your mower grounds out with like a wire or something that makes contact when you release your handle to turn off machine
@@fillslawncare Would you mind going into more detail here? Thank you 🙏
Got a shock, but it worked.
What if it doesn't normally stop when you release the handle, instead using e.g. an off switch or throttle lever?
Mine has four linkages, you showed two mine is a Husqvarna 24x48 with four linkages.
I have a stop ha will no move when you let the handed go what is your suggestion

You need to bend the actual bracket down that holds the switch

?
Just drain the oil and wait a few minutes... she'll shut off!😆
You should make a video showing us this amazing trick 🤣
@@fillslawncare i have one. I drained the oil and filled it with sand. Little tecumseh took it like a champ and ran for like 10 minutes!
I'll check it out tonight
Is that the same with electric mower
No. You probably have a clogged carburetor

Looks like they ran the mower into something as the front of the break was bent out of shape.
Yeah I think so too, pointed it out during the video 👍🏼
Engine shroud
Note: Its a shocking experience if you pull the spark plug off by hand 😅
Man I found that out the hard way 😂
@alilolder the last time I use a push mower that someone rigged together to work. 🤣 2024 we've upgraded to a riding mower!
@@amesr19 ohhh yea told the hubby that's it the frankenmower has gotta go🤣
Sir....I have been fighting this issue on a 22 inch toro awd mower. It's 4am....im sitting on the throne...if this fixes my issue, I'll need your cashapp to buy you a cold drink
Let me know if it fixes it
@@fillslawncare it did not
I have to reach under the cover and force the brake against the flywheel to get it to stop ...or pull the plugwire
I dont think there is even a brake contacting the flywheel anymore. It should of come to a complete stop quicker than that.
Yeah possibly brake worn out
Pull the spark plug…heard
Money
👍🏼
Now mine won't start
