Why my Craftsman Blower engine will not start?
- W
  williamskevinAug 2, 2025
  If your Craftsman Blower engine won't start, several factors could be the cause. First, ensure the fuel tank isn't empty; if it is, fill it with fresh fuel. If the fuel is older than 30 days, drain the tank and refill it with fresh fuel. Another reason could be that the primer bulb wasn't pressed enough; try pressing it 10 times. Lastly, a fouled spark plug can prevent starting, so consider replacing it. If the engine is hot, refer to the 'IF... THE ENGINE IS HOT' instructions in the Starting and Stopping section.
