Why won't my Craftsman Blower engine start?
- SShaun MoonJul 29, 2025
Several factors can prevent your Craftsman Blower from starting. It could be due to an empty fuel tank, which requires filling with properly-mixed fuel. Insufficient priming may be the cause, so press the primer bulb 10 times. If the engine is flooded, squeeze the throttle control and pull the starter rope until it starts. Old or improperly mixed fuel (over 30 days old) necessitates draining the tank and adding fresh fuel. A fouled spark plug should be replaced. Also, make sure that you flipped the choke lever, referring to the Starting Instructions.
