Yes , Hayter with Briggs engine affected, Honda no. Kohler no. Our 2 stroke use Synthetic 2 stroke oil with fuel stabiliser both Echo and Stihl engines seem ok.
The Briggs engine in my mower seems to run very poorly on some E10, but fine on a different petrol can fill up. I suspect that either the quality of some E10 at petrol stations is iffy, or maybe it degrades worse over time. I also had an older blower die with carb issues, which although was a cheap model had run previously flawless prior to E10.
Not noticed any starting issues or poor running performance to date with E10 .
Two stroke mix of choice is the Stihl red one shot at the pump for accuracy , One shot to five litres of E10
My machine repair mechanic recommended adding fuel stabilizer.
One Stihl hedge cutter is a 2005 HS45 long reach which performs very well .
Also a very inexpensive parker brand mower which starts and runs without issue .
Interesting though my Stihl kombi has the same carb issue on E10 as it did before E10 but less so on E10 but my mechanic keeps it running somehow but never suggested replacing the carb he sometimes cleans the carb but more often than not tweaks the mixture screws .
