  If your Craftsman Tiller engine won't start, there are several potential causes. First, ensure the spark plug wire is securely connected. Next, check that the Engine Throttle Control Lever is in the START position. Also, the fuel tank may be empty or contain stale fuel, so fill it with clean, fresh gasoline. A dirty air filter can also prevent starting, so clean or replace it. Finally, the spark plug itself might be defective or incorrectly gapped; clean, adjust the gap, or replace it as needed.
