Why my Craftsman Trimmer engine will not start?
If your Craftsman Trimmer engine won't start, there are several potential causes. Ensure the fuel tank is filled with fresh fuel. If the primer bulb wasn't pressed enough, try pressing it 10 times. Old fuel (over 30 days) can also be a culprit; drain the tank and add fresh fuel. Lastly, a fouled spark plug may need replacement.
What to do if the cutting head of my Craftsman Trimmer will not advance line?
If the cutting head of your Craftsman Trimmer won't advance line, several issues could be at play. The cutting head might be bound with grass, so stop the engine and clean it. The cutting head could be out of line, so clean and thoroughly dry the cutting head. The inner reel could be bound up, so clean the inner reel and outer spool. If the cutting head is dirty, open it and remove the welded section. The line might be welded or twisted, so rewind it. If not enough line is extended, stop the unit, push the bump knob, and pull the line until 4 inches (102 mm) is outside of the cutting head.
