Why won't my Craftsman Lawn Mower engine start?
- JJoseph AlvarezAug 13, 2025
There are several reasons why your Craftsman Lawn Mower engine might fail to start: * The blade control may be disengaged, so ensure that you engage the blade control. * The spark plug boot might be disconnected, so connect the wire to the spark boot. * The fuel tank could be empty or contain stale fuel, so fill the tank with clean, fresh gasoline. * The engine may not be primed (if equipped with a primer), so prime the engine as instructed. * The spark plug may be faulty, so clean, adjust the gap, or replace it. * The engine might be flooded, so wait a few minutes before restarting. * The fuel line might be blocked. * The fuse might be burnt (Electric Start Only), so replace the fuse.
