Fix Auction buy Craftsman edger with Tecumseh not running or won't start

Craftsman edger with Tecumseh will not start . Carb needed cleaning and bad gas kept this auction buy from running.

I've got the same edger but in a Murray with a Tecumseh Lev100 3.8 hp engine which I believe is what the Craftsman in the video has

nice!

[@THOMASTHESAILOR]

Nice, I have the same model.. I don't use it no more.. I just stripped it for parts.. Maybe a Go-Cart or something, idk yet... I love the twist belt..

[@HomeGaragechannel]

Thank you THOMAS THESAILOR Chubby for the comment. I'd go with the go cart personally.

Just found one of these on Craigslist for $50 today. I look forward to using it here sometime soon this spring!

Good luck with it. I'm happy with mine.

Changed the oil last week and bought a new star shaped Stens blade on eBay. Fits great. 9" overall diameter, 4 blades essentially, 1/2" center hole. Make sure you buy one with a 1/2" center hole. Some of them are 5/8" and won't fit tightly enough. And then we got about 8" of lake effect snow.......figures.

Although mine is different. Mine has a different motor, or at least a different carburetor arrangement. The carburetor is essentially an indentation in the top of the fuel tank. Very unusual. No governor, just a "sail" that reacts to the speed of the engine via the fan on the top of the engine. A 2002 model according to the date code on the sticker.

That blade should make short work of any edging job.

I would guess your engine is a Briggs and stratton. The fuel tank is on the right side of the engine?

My grandfather had this EXACT model.

[@HomeGaragechannel]

+Tristan Heckler Your grandfather chose a robust edger then.

[@skizilla]

Jus got one f these, is that a Briggs or Tecumseh, and how can you tell?

[@HomeGaragechannel]

this is a Tecumseh and you Can tell because of the carb and air filter

[@ernestramirez5845]

Maybe it was running rough because your hose was disconnected.

[@sgt.hollowpoint6968]

3 years later....Lol

[@tristanheckler2568]

Good edger I'd say, 3.5 horse Tecumseh on it.

[@HomeGaragechannel]

+Tristan Heckler I think you're right. Good eye.
