Why won't my Craftsman Yard Vacuum engine start?
- CCorey RileyJul 26, 2025
If the Craftsman Yard Vacuum engine fails to start, ensure the throttle lever is in the FAST or START position. Also, check that the spark plug wire is securely connected to the spark plug. Verify the choke is in the ON position and that the fuel tank isn't empty or filled with stale fuel. If the recoil cord is hard to pull, there might be an obstruction in the impeller; disconnect the spark plug wire before removing any object. Inspect the spark plug, clean, adjust the gap, or replace it if needed. Ensure the safety switch is activated by the front tab on the bag handle, and that the safety switch wire is correctly connected to the engine and grounded to the mounting bracket.
