I have a Craftsman mower – model number 917.378550 – that won’t start.
A few seasons ago it had issues of a similar nature and (with the help of this forum, I believe) it was repaired by a simple coil replacement.
It started having similar problems towards the end of last season in that the mower was down on power. I made it through the last few mows by spraying some seafoam in through the air cleaner and that would temporarily give it more grunt.
I put it away for the season and now it won’t start at all. I’m getting spark. I verified this by removing the spark plug, grounding the plug and having my wife pull the cord. I could see a strong spark when doing so.
I assumed my issue was tied to a fuel problem (since I have air and spark), so I removed the carburetor and soaked it in carb cleaner overnight. It still shows no signs of even thinking of turning over. I sprayed some seafoam spray into the chamber, still no start (?). I’m confused at this point.
Any ideas on what my next step of troubleshooting should be?
