What to do if Craftsman Lawn Mower engine idles rough?
If your Craftsman Lawn Mower engine idles rough, it could be due to a spark plug issue. The spark plug might be fouled, faulty, or have a gap that's too wide.

What to do if Craftsman 247.20371 Lawn Mower engine runs erratically?
If your Craftsman Lawn Mower engine is running erratically, it could be due to several reasons. First, check if the choke is activated and deactivate it.

A blocked fuel line or stale fuel could also be the culprit; in this case, replace the fuel line, fill the tank with clean, fresh gasoline, and replace the fuel filter. Additionally, check if the vent in the gas cap is plugged and clear it, or replace the cap if damaged. Water or dirt in the fuel system can also cause this issue, so drain the fuel tank and refill with clean, fresh gasoline. Lastly, a dirty air cleaner can lead to erratic engine performance, so replace the air cleaner paper element or clean the foam pre-cleaner if your mower is equipped with one.
Why Craftsman 247.20371 Lawn Mower is not mulching grass?
Your Craftsman Lawn Mower might not be mulching grass effectively because the engine speed is too low, so place the throttle in the FAST position. Avoid mulching when the grass is wet. If the grass is excessively high, mow once at a high cutting height, then mow again at the desired height, or make a narrower cutting swath. A dull blade will also prevent effective mulching, so sharpen or replace the blade.
