Hayter Harrier 48 clicks for a while before starting.

[Tonino]

Hello members. The problem I have is exactly the same as a post by Swissqp back in August 2024, where the starter clicks for a while before it decides to start. Mick recommended a new type harness, and this worked for the swissqp member. My mower has the same old type harness as pictured in the 2024 forum post, and I'm certain it will solve my problem too. The only thing is, I dont know the name or part number for this new type harness. To Mick, Do you sell these new harnesses? My mower is a Hayter Harrier 48 type 491J serial number 401115426. Ps. The battery is fully charged and  I have removed the cable plug from below the battery and squashed the terminals a little to make a better contact and it is starting better, but not every time Thank you, Tonino

The harness part number is 84003347

Thank you for the very helpful information regarding the updated  wiring harness for my mower Mick. I will come back and let you know if the starting problem has been sorted as soon as I can get the harness fitted.

As promised, here is the update on my " clicking " Hayter Harrier. Mick, you were absolutely correct with your diagnosis regarding the cause of the problem. I fitted the new style wiring harness, and the mower now starts every time the key is turned. I can't believe how simple it was to do the job. Thank you very much indeed for your help and advice. I really do appreciate it.
