I cannot make it start my Craftsman Snow blower? I put starter fuild into engine, and press start. The engine run 1 sec or 2sec and then stop!!! Any suggestion???

Perhaps you have bad gas. When was the last time you ran your blower? If the gas in the tank was put in last winter you most likely have a fuel problem or perhaps a clogged fuel system. If you can start the engine with starting fluid and it only runs a few seconds & stops that's unsually and indication of a fuel system problem.

 

Hello Louis!

I agree...could be bad gas, and if that doesn't solve the problem, then it's time to clean out the carburetor.

 

If the fuel system is clogged, what is the best way to unclogg it?

I look inside where the spark plug go, it looks dry!!!

Disassemble and clean the carburetor, and drain the gas tank if the gas is stale.

 

I just had the same problem. big mistake i made was leaving
gas in from previous year, causing everything to gum up. i put a new
carb kit in and adjusted the screw holding the carb bowl on
and it started. I supposed if i had just cleaned the bowl and
the little holes in the screw and the bottom of the carb it would
have started, but i feel better adding about a $10.00 carb kit
