Why won't my Craftsman WS235 engine start?
- Nnancy95Aug 4, 2025
If your Craftsman Trimmer engine won't start, consider these potential causes: * The fuel tank might be empty; in this case, fill it with properly-mixed fuel. * You may not have pressed the primer bulb enough; press it 10 times. * The engine could be flooded; press the throttle lockout, squeeze the throttle control, and pull the starter rope until the engine starts. * The fuel might be old or improperly mixed; drain the tank and add fresh, properly-mixed fuel. * The spark plug could be fouled; replace it. * The choke lever might not be flipped; refer to Starting Instructions in the Starting and Stopping section.
