      Ebony CarrAug 3, 2025
      Your Craftsman Pressure Washer might not start or run roughly due to several reasons: * The air cleaner might be dirty, so you should clean or replace it. * The gasoline tank may be empty, so you should fill it. * The gasoline may be stale, so you should drain the tank and fill it with fresh fuel. * The spark plug wire may not be connected, so you should connect it. * The spark plug may be bad, so you should replace it. * There may be water in the gasoline, so you should drain the tank and fill it with fresh fuel. * It may be overchoking, so you should open the choke fully and crank the engine.
