    Why my Craftsman Tiller engine fails to start?

      Catherine ThomasJul 30, 2025
      The engine may not start due to several reasons. First, check if the spark plug wire is disconnected and reconnect it if necessary. Ensure the Engine Throttle Control Lever is in the START position. Refill the fuel tank with fresh gasoline if it's empty or contains stale fuel. Inspect the air filter for dirt and clean or replace it. Examine the spark plug for defects or incorrect gapping; clean, adjust, or replace it as needed. For misadjusted throttle control or dirt/water in the fuel tank, it is best to contact your Sears Parts & Repair Center.
