  If your Craftsman Blower engine won't start, there are several possible causes: * The fuel tank might be empty, in which case you should fill it with properly-mixed fuel. * You may not have pressed the primer bulb enough; try pressing it 10 times or until fuel is visible. * The engine could be flooded; move the cruise control to the HI (fast) position and pull the starter rope until the engine starts. * The fuel might be old (over 30 days) or improperly mixed; drain the fuel tank and add fresh, properly-mixed fuel. * The spark plug could be fouled; replace it.
