Why won't my Craftsman 247.39775 Lawn Mower engine start?
- B
  Brent JacksonAug 16, 2025
  If your Craftsman Lawn Mower engine won't start, there are several potential causes: * The blade control might be disengaged, so ensure it is engaged. * The fuel valve may be OFF; if so, move it to the ON position. * The spark plug boot could be disconnected; reconnect it. * The fuel tank might be empty or contain stale fuel; refill with fresh gasoline. * The engine may not be primed (if equipped with a primer); prime it as instructed in the Operation section. * The spark plug could be faulty; clean, adjust the gap, or replace it. * The engine might be flooded; wait a few minutes before restarting. * A blocked fuel line could also be the problem; contact your Sears Parts & Repair Center to have it cleaned.

Why is there high pullback effort on my Craftsman Lawn Mower?
- J
  jonathandavidSep 12, 2025
  If you experience high pullback effort with your Craftsman Lawn Mower, it may be due to pulling the mower backwards before the transmission disengages. Allow the unit to roll forward slightly without the drive lever(s) engaged before pulling backwards.
