Hey Dean
I like using a small checklist for situations like this.
1. Check the kill switch, and fuel level.
2. Remove and spray spark plug with carb cleaner.
3. With spark plug in boot against the engine, pull the cord to confirm a spark.
4. Mount spark plug, prime lightly, and restart.
If it continues to do the same I recommend taking the product to a Servicing Dealer for further evaluation.

i have the same problem , everyone will say is the oil mix or spark plug but the truest is the bad product , very disappointed call the factory waranty promise to call me about this was monday now is thursday still waiting for have on service for about one month and yet to found out when it will be ready ,is this product is not well build , just wonder how many more are there the have same proble ...
i have a poulan pro bvm200vs leaf blower. i used it maybe 8-10 times before it lost compression. i was told it was due to imporper fuel mixture. that is impossible because they supply the correct amount of oil to be used with1 gallon of gas. i even added just a little bit more of oil to try to prevent what happened. took the blower to a service center to confirm what happened. called poulan with NO HELP. would of been happyif they pro-rated a new one for me. you bought a piece of crap, just like me. with no help from poulan
I have the same prob. and when you call support no one answers
I went to the service dealer and they said that I,M not getting any gas. And that the manufactuer does not cover any carberation work and for 65.00 an hour you might as well buy a new one. beleive it will not be a product of yours. When you call costomer service all you gett is a recording that I stayed on the line for a long time with no one picking up. DID THIS HALF A DOZEN TIMES VERY BAD SERVICE
I tried spraying the spark plug and still does start
Now I'm considering to buy new one http://jonsguide.org/best-hitachi-leaf-blower/ but I do have a Poulan blower that runs good after rebuilding the carb that had a bad diaphragm and restriction from old fuel. As has been stated it is hard to believe your Craftsman is not starting. Unless, it is not firing under compression. Have you checked the plug wire with your ohmmeter and move while testing looking for a break. Is it trying to fire?
