Frequently asked questions:
Why is my Craftsman lawn mower not starting?
The most common cause of a Craftsman mower not starting is bad fuel. If it has not been used for some time, the carburetor’s bowl is likely to be filled with old or bad fuel. The crude gas can then clog the carburetor’s lines and core.
If the carburetor is clogged, you will have to clean it. You can use a carb cleaner like WD-40. This cleaner also helps prevent rust make maintain it over extended periods. Other common causes include defective spark plugs and issues with the ignition coil.
Where is the choke on a craftsman riding lawnmower?
The choke lever is typically positioned below the steering wheel on its left side. It is a lever that moves up and down to set the air-fuel mixture. Depending on the extent to which the lever is turned, the choke makes the fuel mixture lean or rich. The top position is for the rich mixture, while the medium position is for a lean mixture. Generally, the mower is started on a rich fuel mixture.
The choke itself is near the opening of the carburetor that gets the air from the air filter. It is a moving plate, that restricts the airflow to the carburetor when the choke lever is activated.
Is there a choke on a Craftsman riding lawnmower?
Generally, a gas Craftsman lawnmower has a choke. It is used to start the engine when it is cold. In that case, the airflow going to the carburetor is restricted.
How do you use a choke on a Craftsman riding lawn mower?
When you want to start a riding lawnmower when the engine is cold it can have more difficulty starting. In that case, you set the throttle into the choke position. This setting is generally between the fast and slow throttle position, or above the fast position. Some Craftsman mowers have a separate lever for it.
Then you can start the lawnmower. When the engine is running fine, and it has heated up a little bit, you can set the throttle to the desired throttle setting.
Where is the choke on a Craftsman LT 2000 riding mower?
The choke on a Craftsman LT 2000 is located on the left side of the engine. To operate it, you need to reach under the machine and pull up on the lever. Keep in mind that this choke will vary depending on the model of your Craftsman LT 2000. Some models may have a single lever, while others may have two levers.
Where is the choke on a Craftsman DLT 3000 riding mower?
The choke on a Craftsman LT 300 riding mower is connected to the throttle lever. When you pull it above the fast position, it will activate the choke. The choke itself is located near the opening where air from the air filter will enter the carburetor. A plate will limit the airflow when the choke is activated.
How long should a Craftsman riding lawnmower last?
Craftsman lawnmowers are one of the most fuel-efficient and comfortable riding mowers. They are built for medium to large-sized yards. They have a shelf-life of 15-20 years. A more common rating is the number of hours. These mowers are expected to last about 1000-1200 hours, given that they are properly taken care of.
