Why won't my Hayter M10/30 engine turn over or start?
- J
  Jason HortonAug 13, 2025
  Your Hayter Lawn Mower engine might not turn over or start due to several reasons: * The brake pedal might not be depressed fully. If so, fully depress the brake pedal. * The PTO (electric clutch) switch might be in the ON position. Place it in the OFF position. * The cruise control might be engaged. Move the knob to the NEUTRAL/OFF position. * It could be out of fuel. If the engine is hot, allow it to cool, then refill the fuel tank. * The engine might be flooded. Disengage the choke. Other potential causes that require professional assistance include a blown fuse, battery terminal issues, a discharged or dead battery, loose or broken wiring, a faulty solenoid or starter motor, a faulty safety interlock switch, water in the fuel, or old/stale gas.

  If your Hayter Lawn Mower engine starts hard or runs poorly, it might be because the fuel mixture is too rich. Try cleaning the air filter. If the problem persists, the engine may have another issue that requires attention from an authorized dealer.

  If your Hayter Lawn Mower engine runs but the tractor won't drive, the ground speed control pedals might not be depressed; depress them. Also, check that the transmission release lever is in the DRIVE position, not the PUSH position. Other potential issues that require assistance from an authorized dealer include a broken mower drive belt or a broken/slipping traction drive belt. Finally, ensure the parking brake is disengaged.
