Craftsman 25cc 2-Cycle Gas Blower/Vac - Page 7 Questions & Answers
I have a Craftsman ZT S7500 Mower that runs 5 min. then stops wait 5 or 6 min. it will restart then shut down
My first thought is fuel delivery but could be other.
To determine if its fuel or spark, run it until it fails. Then try starter fluid directly into the carburetor. If it fires and runs for a few seconds then it's a no fuel issue. If it cranks but does not fire, then more likely a no spark issue.
To successfully use starter fluid you need to remove the air filter assembly and spray a one second burst of fluid directly into the exposed carburetor throat and then promptly attempt to start.

Hi Jerry:
My Craftsman ride on Mower does not have "gears" as such.
There are separate forward and reverse pedals.
Can you give us a model number for your machine?

Remove both spark plugs and test each cylinder for compression. Just press your thumb over the spark plug hole and crank engine. A good cylinder will forcibly push your thumb away with a pfft sound. Likely you'll find one cylinder has no compression.
If you have a dead cylinder, remove the rocker arm cover and assess the damage. If you're lucky you'll find a push rod out of place with no other damage.

Check fuel valve is fully open. Check that fuel flows freely from to the carburetor input fitting... just remove line at carb and it should be a full steady stream of fuel.
Check that the primer bulb functions.
Be sure the O ring between backside of carburetor and engine intake is in good condition and in place.
Check breather tube from crankcase to air filter base is not cracked or damaged. Check the gasket between carburetor and air filter base is in place and properly oriented.
