What to do if my Hatz M Series Engine does not start immediately?

If your Hatz Engine won't start immediately but can be turned, several issues could be the cause. First, there might be no fuel reaching the injection pump. Try to refuel, operate the manual fuel pump, and check the feed line, fuel prefilter, main fuel filter, and feed pump function. Other potential causes include a torn poly v-belt (renew it) or insufficient compression due to wrong tappet clearance (check and adjust). If the injection nozzle is not functional or there is cylinder/piston ring wear, contact Hatz service.
