Craftsman Lawn Mower Air Filter
Posted in Arts & Crafts on 06/03/2010 11:55 pm by admin
My craftsmen 5 hp lawn mower won’t start. I did leave full in over the winter and now nothing. Any ideas?
I have drained the fuel and replaced it with new. I added some marvel mystery oil to try to get it lubricated. I even added some carburator cleaner in case it was gunked up.
I replaced the spark plug and the air filter and WD-40′d the whole thing.
Now what?
Sears has told me that the model does not have a fuel filter of any kind.
How reasonable is it for a do it yourself hacker to take the carboratur apart?
Your carburetor check valve under the float is probably stuck shut. You may end up taking it apart to get the gunk out of it. Next fall use gas stabilizer in the gas.
Don’t spray oil in the cylinder it’s just going to foul the plug.
You can try to get it started by taking the plug out and put a teaspoon of gas in the hole, replace the plug and start it. If it starts and stops it’s because gas isn’t going into the bowl.

Why Wont My Lawn Mower Stay Running?
I have a 1996 Craftsman Eager 1 Self Propelled Lawn Mower that wont stay running.
I have taken the carb apart 5 times and cleaned it with carb cleaner.
I have installed a new air filter, new primer bulb, new gas, and a new spark plug.
the gas cap does not make a difference. However you can keep the engine running if you repeatedly push the primer bulb. After about 20 seconds of doing that, the engine will run on its own but the RPMs go up and down.
Can anyone tell me whats wrong with this thing and tell me how to fix it? Its starting to push my buttons.
There is an automatic centrifugal governor arm that is very likely out of adjustment. Link below.
