Stratton Craftsman
November 15th, 2009
My Craftsman mower fires up when I push the primer a couple of times and then immediately dies. What’s wrong?
I have a Craftsman rotary push-type mower with a 4.5 HP Briggs & Stratton engine. I tried to start it today after about 6 months of disuse. I had left a little fuel in the tank over the winter. The engine fires up for a couple of seconds after I push the primer a few times and then immediately cuts off. I have replaced the fuel (though did not completely drain it). What could be the problem?
I had that EXACT same problem with my 4.5 HP Briggs & Stratton engine on my mower about 3 years ago! I could actually hold the primer in and it would run, but let go and it stalls within seconds. I tried everything, including Buzzwaltz suggestion. I took it into a small engine repair shop and they replaced the carburator (About $75) and that did the trick until next year and it did the same thing in the spring. I had even drained the fuel for the winter.
It was only 3 years old at the time.
Piece of crap, if you ask me.
I bought an old mower off of a friend of mine. (Like 15 years old.) Fires up on the second pull almost every time and I don’t even drain the fuel in the winter.
I guess they don’t make ‘em like they used to.
