How to start a Craftsman Lawn Mower that won't start?
- S
  Stephen CochranJul 28, 2025
  If your Craftsman Lawn Mower engine won't start, it might be due to several reasons. First, 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; in this case, drain the tank and add fresh fuel. A fouled spark plug should be replaced. In case the engine is hot, refer to the 'IF... THE ENGINE IS HOT' instructions in the Starting and Stopping section.
