  If your Snapper Lawn Mower engine won't turn over or start, there are several potential causes: * The ground speed levers may not be in the START/PARK positions. Ensure they are locked in place. * The PTO (electric clutch) switch might be in the ON position; place it in the OFF position. * The fuel tank may be empty; if the engine is hot, allow it to cool before refilling. * The parking brake may be disengaged; engage it. * The fuel valve may be closed; open it. * The engine may be flooded; open the choke. * The gas may be old or stale; drain and replace with fresh fuel. * The battery terminals may need cleaning; clean them. * The battery may be discharged or dead; recharge or replace it.
