How long have you had it? If not very long, take it back

Good job, you bought a craftsman. Guess what? It should have come with a lifetime waranty. So take it back to sears and they might give you a new one for free! I’ve busted tons of craftsman stuff and they’ve never asked for a reciept.

Is the air filter clean?

I work at SEARS in Pembroke Pines, FL. I don’t know about the other stores, but here, craftman items are returned on their lifetime warranty. It should be the same else where too.
No matter what the problem, may it be the color don’t match the rest of the yard tools in your garage:) I would suggest you return it being that you have a lifetime warranty.

It has to be in the carburetor, if it was electrical it wouldn’t start at all. Sears? Good man, take it back

Sounds like a fuel delivery problem (like a clogged gascap and its not venting) or the gas isn’t getting to the carb in the quantity it needs from a clogged fuel filter or line. If it has a warranty, let them deal with it.. sears has one of the best warranty’s….. I’ve seen em take back blown up weedeaters (didn’t mix the oil with the gas) and fix or replace them. Even though it was the owners fault.

Your air filter may need cleaning or your kill switch might be grounding it out, or water in your gas. Once it starts try alittle starting fluid each time it tries to die in the air filter. Until it quits dying.
