    My Craftsman leafblower does not start reliably. Why does it not start?
    My Craftsman leafblower does not start reliably. I have changed the spark plug and the gas filter, and the air filter was cleaned. I have opened the covers so I can see that the primer bulb is moving fuel, however, I do not see or smell gasoline on the spark plug. Should I?
