Why won't my Craftsman 247.889330 start?
- A
  Annette SmithAug 12, 2025
  If your Craftsman Lawn Mower engine won't start, several factors could be the cause. First, ensure the choke is activated by placing the throttle/choke control lever into the choke position and that the throttle/choke lever is in the fast position. Check that the spark plug wire is connected to the spark plug. The spark plug could be faulty, so clean, adjust the gap, or replace it. The fuel tank might be empty or contain stale fuel, so fill it with clean, fresh gasoline. Finally, a blocked fuel line could be the issue, in which case you should have the fuel line cleaned by a Sears service dealer.

  Susan ReedAug 19, 2025
  If your Craftsman Lawn Mower engine runs erratically, there are several possible causes. Make sure the unit is not running with the choke applied; if it is, move the throttle/choke lever out of the choke position. Check the spark plug wire to ensure it is connected and tight. Stale fuel can also cause this issue, so fill the tank with fresh gasoline. Additionally, water or dirt in the fuel system could be the problem; drain the fuel and refill with fresh fuel. Lastly, a dirty air cleaner can cause the engine to run erratically, so replace the air cleaner cartridge.
