Craftsman blower won't start or run. No spark. 

Very well done and great simple narration! It helped me take apart similar blower, clean, repair and it started right up!

Looks like this is exactly the same machine as my Poulan Pro BVM200FE. Thanks for showing how to disassemble it, that was a big help.

The grounding was a good try, you by now figured out the problem. Thanks fer showin us !!!.

As always, systematic and simple description of the problem

Thanks very much. No messing around, just to the point.

I've replaced a couple coils on those cheaper blowers...but anymore I usually tell people it's not worth the price of the coil & my labor. I did one for a coworker once & then next season the carb went bad. I replaced it with a $20 Chinese carb & he ended up spending more money than if he'd bought a new one. Great vid!

Absolutely great educational video for us 👍

I told myself not to buy the new 25cc Craftsman leaf blower and 2 years later here I am, Damn! Oh and my new Craftsman pressurewasher that I used one time is also broken after 1 year , it only starts with starting fluid then dies. I have an Echo edger and weed eater 22+ years old (replaced the fuellines once) no issues. All garage kept. No more crapsman its not worth fixing and 1 to 2 years later fixing it again! Thanks for the video and showing me that I don't care enough to care lol.

another great video!!!

Really enjoy the videos thank you

Nice video. I think I will get a new one...Thanks

Great service

Very helpful. Thanks

Great video. I have a similar problem, but I am getting spark and it won't even putt-putt with starting fluid. I KNOW BAD BAD! I did find out compression is bad. Probably due to the Starting Fluid. Lesson Learned!

good video. ive got two junkers. both have no spark...havent went into them yet

There a test on the bench using an ohm meter that could prove it is good or failed as well. There are specs on the resistances of that coil that can be obtained and compared. A problem with the kill switch wiring could mean no spark such that replacing the coil wouldn't fix it.

I have that blower it works very good

Before spinning the shaft to test for spark. Make sure the flywheel is locked down tight by using an extra spacer to reach the lock down nut. Otherwise the key can easily strip on the flywheel. A stripped key can also be the cause of no spark.

Good jobs 👏👏👏

sometimes the actual ignition coil itself looses magnetism naturally which is a bit of a pain in the arse when fixing reaalllllllyyy old stuff haha

great job! what a major P.I.T.A!

Ahh so. Just picked up this exact model out of the trash. Will give it a try for a repair soon. No spark though portends an expensive repair. PIty. I have an ancient Craftsman blower that doesn't even a trigger. Just a turn knob for the speed. 25 years old and still going.

I've got the same one it starts on full choke and runs but when go to half or run it just cuts all power like it's got getting enough fuel but I've pretty much replaced the whole fuel system. I'm at a lost

May be just me, but I am finding out on my own leaf blowers made today are junk.Vs say a older Craftsman which I have and ran for many years no issue.In the past 6 months I have aquired 7 blowers.Most of these off pallet buys.Where still new in the box and returned due to dent, scuff etc.Polan, Craftsman.I find issue 1.These are hard to start.2.Bog down if throttle wide open fast.3.Stalls out when sitting.4.A big one, they get red hot fast and some bog and die.All 7 newish coils I doubt would just go out.7 newish carbs junk, I doubt.I still yet to figuar out why these things new out box have big issues.Just glad I did not pay $100 at a store for one.I just collect them at low fee to tinker with.About to toss them all and buy a Sthil. Newest addition is a new Craftsman.New as in, new.Does run, has the issue of idle to full throttle fast and just bog down.Throttle up slow and fine.Carb ajust?

Also it's a good idea to check the spark plug get a new one, did exactly the same on my pocket bike saved me 25 bucks for a new coil!

That usually happens when you leave your equipment outside. That is why it is very important to keep them inside when finished

Nice video, where I can get another coil ? Thanks advanced

Informative video but I can't seem to find part 2!

This is insane

Quick question, do you sell all these machines after you fix them? Or your a engine mechanic?

You fvcking rule!

Get rid of the junk Champion spark plug for starters!

why not check a brand new plug?

i thought that when you press the kill switch it disconected the wire

Won’t start gas slightly dripping out choke hole on my Makita

Are you a auto tech?

Got it on black, same problem:no start

WHAT Da FucK, OMG!!! Who Can Do ALL THAT!! GeeZzz!, Well Nice Video!, Thats ALL I got! I Can’t!! 🤷🏾‍♀️

The reason I won't start is because of abuse from you. You kept me outside in the cold. All I wanted was Hot Chocolate.

Good reason not to buy one . Seeing more that look new for sale saying won't start.

Never buy this products from lowes , i have brand new one , i cant even use it , it wont run at all , lowes dont accept exchange or return , home depot or walmart is better store to buy a power tools.
