  Several issues can prevent your Craftsman Lawn Mower engine from starting. Ensure that the blade control is engaged. Check that the spark plug boot is connected securely. If the fuel tank is empty or contains stale fuel, refill it with clean, fresh gasoline. If your mower has a primer, prime the engine as instructed. Inspect the spark plug; clean, adjust the gap, or replace it if necessary. If the engine is flooded, wait a few minutes before attempting to restart. If the fuel line is blocked, contact a service center to have it cleaned.
