What to do if my DR Tractor Accessories engine will not start manually?
- MMatthew RogersSep 9, 2025
If your DR Tractor Accessories engine won't start manually, make sure the key is in the RUN position and the spark plug wire is attached. Inspect the operator presence switch connections beneath the panel at the key switch and at the engine. Check the oil and gas levels, replacing old gas if necessary, and consider using a fuel stabilizer. Verify the throttle adjustment and travel. Examine the spark plug for dirt or cracks, replacing it if needed. If the spark plug is oily, remove it, cover the plug hole with a rag, and pull the recoil cord to clear any oil. Finally, check the air filter and replace it if dirty, following the engine owner’s manual.
