Can a mower drive belt be too tight for a lawnmower?
Just replaced the mower drive belt (cuz previous one broke) and now all of a sudden the mower doesnt want to turn over completely now. Could the belt be too tight? If it is, it’s within an inch.
The general answer to your question is, Yes. However, you don’t say if this is a riding lawn mower, or a brush mower, or which of the belts (most riding lawn mowers have two, as do some brush mowers) was replaced. Therefore the specific answer can be Yes and it can be No. Your Owners’ Manual should have instructions about belt replacement/adjustment. If you don’t have the manual, and you are the original owner, go to the store where you purchased the mower and seek assistance. If you’re not the original owner you may find assistance at a hardware store, mower sales outlet or at a small engine repair. Or, if it is an electric start mower as you imply with “won’t turn over”, the battery may simply have chosen this inopportune time to be balky and to confuse you.
good Luck
