Why won't my Craftsman 247.889330 start?

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.
