Default CRAFTSMAN MOWER STILL NOT RUNIING

OK... No gas. Probably you've got something clogging up your carburetor.
What I would do next would be to rebuild the carburetor. It's not very hard.
You can get a rebuild kit ($20) from most small engine shops, such as lawn
mower repair shops. The trick of doing a good job is to make sure you've
cleaned out all the holes real good. Use a carburetor cleaner and if you
have a compressor, blow it out real good. Then replace all your parts with
the ones that come in the kit.

Once you get it running, you may need to adjust the screws on the carb to
get it running smooth.
