Why my Craftsman C210 engine will not start?

If your Craftsman Tiller engine won't start, several factors could be the cause. First, ensure the fuel tank isn't empty by filling it with properly mixed fuel. If the primer bulb wasn't pressed enough, press it 10 times. If the engine is flooded, squeeze the throttle control and pull the starter rope until the engine starts. Old or improperly mixed fuel (over 30 days old) can also be a culprit; drain the tank and add fresh, properly mixed fuel. A fouled spark plug should be replaced. Finally, make sure the choke lever was flipped according to the Starting Instructions.
