Why Sears Craftsman C459-36024 Lawn Mower engine fails to start?
- J
  Jeffrey JohnsonAug 13, 2025
  Your Sears Lawn Mower engine might fail to start due to several reasons. It could be that the blade control is disengaged, so ensure it is engaged. The spark plug boot might be disconnected; check and connect the wire to the spark plug boot. An empty fuel tank or stale fuel could also be the cause; refill with clean, fresh gasoline. A faulty spark plug may also prevent starting, so clean, adjust the gap, or replace it. If the engine is flooded, wait a few minutes before attempting to restart. Finally, a blocked fuel line can prevent starting; in this case, contact your Sears Parts & Repair Center to have the fuel line cleaned.

  An erratic engine in your Sears Lawn Mower could stem from several issues. First, ensure the spark plug boot is securely connected and tightened. Stale fuel can also cause this problem, so replace it with clean, fresh gasoline. A plugged vent in the gas cap might be the culprit; clear the vent. Water or dirt in the fuel system can also lead to erratic running; run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel, then refill with fresh fuel. For a dirty air cleaner, please refer to the Air Cleaner section in the Engine Maintenance part of your manual. If the fuel line is blocked, contact your Sears Parts & Repair Center to have it cleaned.

What to do if Sears Lawn Mower is not mulching grass?
- J
  Jackie WrightAug 20, 2025
  If your Sears Lawn Mower isn't mulching grass effectively, consider these factors: avoid mowing when the grass is wet; wait until it's dry. If the grass is excessively high, mow once at a higher cutting height, then mow again at your desired height, or narrow the cutting path. A dull blade will also hinder mulching, so sharpen or replace the blade.
