20 Most Recent Craftsman Front Propelled Rear Bag Lawn Mower with High Wheels Questions & Answers

could be a number if things, dirty carb, old gas, dirty coil contacts, low combustion chamber pressure, (bad rings), bad spark plug. First try replacing the spark plug and if it is old gas remove and replace with fresh. if that doesn't do it then the carb needs to be removed, cleaned and blown out thoroughly with an air compressor. reassemble and reinstall. next is to remove the recoil housing and clean the coil contacts. the coil is attached to the spark plug wire. remove and with some old gas or wd-40 and a wire brush, remove dirt and rust from contacts as well as magnet on the flywheel. be sure to leave the proper gap between the coil and flywheel when you replace the coil. If you can pull the recoil with your forefinger and thumb, chances are your machine is toast and needs a ring job. good luck

Must be a bad mower that got thru the assembly line somehow. I have owned a front wheel drive Craftsman mower for 7 yrs and have never had one single problem with anything on it.

check to see if your blade is bent.

Remove the spark plug and attach the plug wire to the top of the plug. Place the base of the spark plug against a metal part of the engine and pull the starter cord. You should see sparking between the plug electrodes. It helps to do it in a dark area, not out in the sun.

If there is no spark, something may be shorted out, a wire broken, or the magneto has come apart, etc.

If there is spark, then the problem is fuel related. The gas may not be getting to the carburetor, or the air / fuel ratio is wrong, not allowing combustion.

You have to eliminate each of the possibilities one by one. I would recommend buying a can of starting fluid, which you can get at parts stores, Walmart, Target, Shopko, etc. Spray a little in the carburetor or directly into the spark plug hole. Replace the plug and if it acts like it is starting, then dies, you know you have good spark and the problem is with the fuel or carburation. If the machine has sat for a long time with stale gas in the carburetor, it gets gummed up and will not start. The carburetor will have to be removed and cleaned.

Good luck!

You could, but you shouldn't. I assume you need to replace the cord? Remove bolts from the whole sheet metal housing, and remove the cord reel from inside.

The Craftsman part number 66054 corresponds to a link arm, but without specific details or access to Craftsman's database, it's challenging to provide the exact length of this part. To find the precise length of the link arm with part number 66054, I recommend checking the product description or reaching out to Craftsman directly through their customer support or website.

Hi Joe Still having trouble with that old mower! I thought you fixed it? You stated the reason it was turning over and lock up the mower had the wrong starter on it the Starter Motor Drive Bendix had 16 teeth and the mower needed a Starter with 14 teeth so I changed the Starter out. That's what I did. I reckon you are using batteries that are wearing out and don't have the required amps. Jump start the mower using your Santa Fe with the engine running. Or take the batteries to an Interstate Battery shop and ask them to test them. That is free, but they can also pulse charge them to desulphate the plates. There is a small charge for that and they keep the battery for 24 hours. Other things you can try. Remove the starter and connect it direct to the battery. See if it spins freely? Turn the engine over by hand to see if there is stiffness. Then do it with the plugs out. ..

Hello Joe How old is the battery? Battery life in mowers is bad because they usually aren't well looked after in the winter, 6 months use and 6 months neglect. Also fuel is often left in the tank and in the carb which goes funky. Do you have a compression tester?

Clean the battery posts and the connectors with a wire brush and then smear them with Vaseline. Tighten the connectors well. Take of the negative ground to the chassis and do the same with that. Also take the battery to an Interstate Battery outlet and ask them to load test the battery. Voltage is one thing but Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) is the important part of a battery. They do it for free and it takes 2 minutes, and you get a printout, CCA on the battery to CCA Actual. ..
