Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Craftsman Blower not Starting, craftsman model, signs of trouble


Question
Unit showed signs of trouble with recent difficulty starting but once it started it ran fine.  Now won't start at all.  I changed the plug, fuel filter & air filter.  Removed carb and sprayed with carb cleaner.  After cleaning carb, now the primer bulb does not draw in any fuel at all.  It feels blocked.  This is an additional problem.  The non-start issue existed prior.  Craftsman Model 358.797170, 25cc/1.5 cu.in./200mph 400cfm.  

Answer
 Hello Steve:

 I hate Spray Cleaners. All the Spray Does is Loosen the Varnish and Cause more Problems. Remove the Carburetor and Disassemble. Then Soak the Carburetor Overnight in Gunk Carburetor Cleaner and then Blow Out the Passages with Compressed Air. Install New Kit. You can View a Breakdown/IPL at this Addy http://www3.sears.com/ and Click the Lawn Equipment Box. Then Enter the Model Numbers and Click Continue. Then Verify the Equipment is Correct and Click Continue. From this Page you can Select Either a Parts List or a Diagram to View. Hope this Helps. I am here if you Require more Assistance. Let me know what Happens, Please. Thanks.

 Good Luck

 Respectfully

 John
