  Several factors can prevent your Craftsman Snow Blower engine from starting. Here's what to check: * Ensure the choke control is in the CHOKE position; if not, move it accordingly. * Verify the spark plug wire is connected to the spark plug; connect if disconnected. * Inspect the spark plug for faults; clean, adjust the gap, or replace it if necessary. * Make sure the fuel tank isn't empty and that you're using clean, fresh gasoline. * Prime the engine as instructed in the Operation Section. * Ensure the key is fully inserted into the switch. * If equipped with an electric start, confirm the extension cord is properly connected to both the snow blower and a grounded AC outlet.

  Erratic engine performance in your Craftsman Snow Blower can stem from a few causes: * The engine might be running on CHOKE; move the choke control to the RUN position. * The fuel could be stale; replace it with clean, fresh gasoline. * There might be water or dirt in the fuel system; drain the fuel tank by running the engine until it stops, then refill with fresh fuel. * The engine might be over-governed. In this case, contact your Sears Parts & Repair Center.
