Craftsman generator repair and replacement parts

Craftsman generators are known for their rugged dependability and top performance. Engines used in Craftsman generators rarely break down but you can never tell when a failure will occur. When your Craftsman generator isn't working, trust Sears PartsDirect to have the replacement parts you need to fix the generator.

Replacing the spark plug in your Craftsman generator's engine

  • When the engine is cool, disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug.
  • Use a spark plug wrench to loosen and remove the spark plug.
  • Use a spark plug gap tool to set the gap between the center electrode and the ground electrode. The gap specifications for your model are in the owners manual.
  • Thread the spark plug into the engine. Then tighten the spark plug with a spark plug wrench. Reconnect the spark plug wire.

What to do when your Craftsman generator's engine won't stay running

  • Check the oil. Most generator engines use a low oil level switch to shut off the engine when it detects low oil level. Add oil to the engine if oil level is low.
  • Fuel system problems often cause the engine to stall, so you'll need to rebuild or replace the carburetor if it won't stay running.
  • Stale gasoline can also cause the engine to stall. Replace the fuel in the gas tank with fresh gasoline.
