Why won't my Craftsman 247.77055 engine start?

If your Craftsman Yard Vacuum engine won't start, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the fuel tank has clean, fresh gasoline, as fuel won't last more than thirty days without a stabilizer. Next, check that the spark plug wire is securely connected. Also, verify that the choke is in the ON position and that the safety switch is properly depressed by the front tab on the bag handle. A faulty spark plug might also be the culprit, so inspect, clean, adjust the gap, or replace it. Finally, make sure the safety switch wire is correctly connected to the engine connector and grounded to the mounting bracket. If you cannot pull the recoil cord, there may be an obstruction lodged in the impeller; disconnect the spark plug wire and remove any lodged object.
