Craftsman 32cc blower stalls

My blower starts fine with choke on, but when I push to half choke it stalls. I cleaned the sponge filter and it worked briefly, but then stalled again.

Your carb is leaning out, causing the thing to die. Try adjusting the mixture screw (out) to richen the mixture. If there is a cap, you can pull it off to go richer. If that doesn't work, either the filter/pickup is plugged, the fuel line is kinked/smashed, or the carb needs to come apart to be cleaned.

My leaf blower runs at half choke but only for a little while. Move it to choke off and it dies

This sounds like a fuel delivery problem. Check the fuel filter and also the carburetor bowl and main jet. Make sure the fuel lines and the carb are clear and clean.. Carb may need to be removed and cleaned....it's not picking up the fuel and delivering it to the engine. There may be some small debris that has entered the carb and is stopping the complete flow of fuel.

I have a Craftsman 32cc weed trimmer, can't give gas, it stalls

Usually the diaphram is wore out. It is a relatively inexpensive part. Does it run better with a little choke? If the answer is yes chances are it's the diaphram. Also sometimes the adjustment screws can move. There are two, one for low speed, and one for high. With the engine warmed up make small movements on the screws (some are marked low, and high) in, and out adjust til the engine runs at its optimum.
Hope this helps!

The cord pulled out of my 32cc craftsman blower.

slow and steady, there is no shortcut for that machine, find a clean work space and start at the top. They will never win an engineering award for that one

Craftsman blower stalls when choke is disengaged

You need to play with the timing adjustment, either on the spark plug, or the gap between the contact and the magneto.
That'll do it ;)

Craftsman gas leafblower

Hey Karl,

To me this sounds like its getting too much fuel after it has been warmed up so either there is too much gas flow to the unit or there is not enough. check your primer bulb once this happens if there is a full bulb when it shuts down chances are its getting too much gas, if its empty then its not getting enough and your fuel filter could be starting to plug up or is not in the tank properly.
