CRAFTSMAN MINI TILLER MODEL 316 292621 FUEL HOSE DIAGRAM

Fuel starvation, try slacken the filler cap to rule out a blocked tank vent, if no better replace the fuel filter in the tank, if no better you will have ti remove the carb and clean the filer under the pump diaphram.

Manuals for many Craftsman tools are available here: http://www.managemylife.com/mmh/owner_manuals . Lots of tillers are listed just by searching for Craftsman tiller. If you can find the model number (usually on a plaque on the housing of the tiller), you can narrow down the list greatly.

I hope this helps.

I see that this machine has a 2 stroke engine. These directions work on the 2-stroke engines of Sears trimmers. I've never seen a diagram but many explanations are out there.
The small diameter line out of fuel tank (has fuel filter in-tank on end) connects directly to the side of the carburetor that has the fuel pump....that is the cover without the hole in it. Other larger diameter fuel line out of tank connects to the longer nipple on the external purge/primer bulb. The bulb "pulls" fresh fuel from the fuel tank to the carb and then out of the carb to itself, where it then pushes any air/old fuel back into the fuel tank. The remaining larger diameter fuel line in this setup goes from the metering chamber (has cover with writing on it and a vent-hole) side of the carburetor to the smaller nipple on the purge/primer bulb. Again, on the primer bulb, the longer nipple has a line going directly from it to the tank. The shorter nipple on the bub has a line from it going to the metering chamber side of the carburetor. If the purge/primer bulb is on top of the carb...small line from carb body to small hole in tank with filter. Larger diameter line goes from the bulb on the fuel pump side of the carb to the larger hole in the fuel tank where the line is held in place with a nylon nipple connector that keeps the line from pulling out of the tank.

Your situation is puzzling and in fact on the Sears site with your tillers' parts list, they state the manual is no longer available with no replacement either. See item no. 92 on parts list.
Here is the parts list and diagram if there are any help to you.

Don't fear. Here is a link to a 6.5HP Craftsman tiller that I also hope will help. This model is a close relative but has rear tines.

Craftsman part numbers will help on this search. Typically 3 digits separated by a '.' such as 345.45687

If you can find these, please re-post the question. :)

Try this site and enter your model number. I hope it helps you.

Take the fuel line off at the carb. Blow back to the tank. Attach the fuel line to the carb. Try it. If no luck...Take the line off at the pump and blow back. Attach the line and try. If no luck...As long as all the wiring is correct, clean or replace the pump. Good luck...Lee

Depending on model the hp is 1.4 hp
