    Why does my Craftsman Trimmer lack power or stall when cutting?
    • J
      Jasmine NewtonJul 30, 2025
      If your Craftsman Trimmer engine lacks power or stalls when cutting, several factors could be the cause. Start by checking the fuel. Old or improperly mixed fuel can cause issues, so drain the gas tank and add a fresh fuel mixture. A plugged air filter may be the problem, so replace or clean the air filter. A fouled spark plug or a plugged spark arrestor might also be the issue; in these cases, replace the spark plug or clean/replace the spark arrestor, respectively. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the carburetor adjustment may be improper, and you should take the trimmer to a Sears authorized service dealer for an adjustment.

    What to do if my Craftsman Trimmer engine will not accelerate?
    • R
      Richard Melton Jr.Aug 18, 2025
      If your Craftsman Trimmer engine won't accelerate, consider these possible causes: First, old or improperly mixed fuel can prevent proper acceleration, so drain the gas tank and add a fresh fuel mixture. A dirty air filter may be the problem, so clean or replace the air filter. A plugged spark arrestor might also be the issue, so clean or replace the spark arrestor. Also, if the cutting attachment is bound with grass, stop the engine and clean the cutting attachment. If none of these actions work, the carburetor adjustment may be improper, and you should take the trimmer to a Sears authorized service dealer for an adjustment.
