    Why is my Craftsman 247.88779 Snow Blower engine running erratically?

      An erratic engine in your Craftsman Snow Blower can stem from a few issues: * The engine may be running on choke. Move the choke lever to the RUN position. * The fuel line might be blocked, or the fuel could be stale. Clean the fuel line and fill the tank with fresh, clean gasoline. * There could be water or dirt in the fuel system. Run the engine until it stops, then refill with fresh fuel.

      If your Craftsman Snow Blower isn't discharging snow, here's what you can check: 1. The chute assembly might be clogged.

There could be a foreign object lodged in the auger. Stop the engine immediately, disconnect the spark plug wire, and remove the object from the auger using a clean-out tool or a stick. 3.
