Craftsman Snowblower Spark Plug Parts

A fouled or worn spark plug is one of the easiest snowblower fixes — and one of the most common. If your Craftsman snowblower won't start or fires weakly, a fresh spark plug is often all you need. Craftsman snowblowers use specific heat-range plugs to match their engines' combustion characteristics. Using the wrong plug can cause hard starting, rough idle, or poor performance in cold weather.

Find the exact spark plug for your Craftsman model by entering your model number below. Repair Clinic stocks OEM spark plugs that meet Craftsman's original specifications, ensuring reliable ignition when you need your snowblower most.

• Won't start: Fouled plug, carbon buildup, or wet gap
• Weak spark or misfiring: Worn electrode gap or buildup
• Hard starting in cold weather: Wrong heat range or old plug
• Black sooty residue on plug: Running too rich; clean plug and check air filter
• Plug electrode corroded or pitted: Replace with OEM Champion or NGK equivalent

Keep a spare spark plug in your snowblower maintenance kit. They're inexpensive and take less than a minute to swap. Find Craftsman snowblower spark plug options or enter your Craftsman model number to get the exact plug your engine needs.

Craftsman Snowblower Spark Plug FAQs

What spark plug does my Craftsman snowblower use?

Craftsman snowblowers use Champion or NGK spark plugs matched to their specific engine — usually a Champion RJ19LM or equivalent. The heat range is critical: too cold and the plug fouls; too hot and it causes detonation. Always verify your model number in Repair Clinic's parts lookup tool to confirm the correct plug type and gap.

Why does my Craftsman snowblower spark plug keep fouling?

A fouled plug (black, sooty coating) usually means the engine is running too rich — too much fuel, not enough air. Before replacing the plug again, check your air filter for clogs and clean it or replace it. Old fuel with ethanol can also gum up the plug faster. If the plug fouls repeatedly after each cleaning, the carburetor may need a rebuild kit.

Can I use any universal spark plug in my Craftsman snowblower?

While some universal plugs may physically fit, OEM plugs are designed for your specific engine's compression ratio and combustion chamber design. Using the wrong heat range causes starting problems or performance issues. Use your model number to find the exact OEM plug — it costs just a few dollars more and help ensure reliable winter starts.

How often should I replace the spark plug in my snowblower?

Replace the spark plug every season before winter storage, or if it's visibly fouled or corroded. If your snowblower sits for months between uses, a fresh plug is cheap insurance against hard starting when you need it most. Always gap the plug to your engine's specification — typically 0.025 to 0.035 inches for small engines.

Craftsman Snowblower Model Number: Where to Look

On Craftsman snowblowers, look for the model number on the frame behind the engine, under the handle panel, or on the auger housing. The identification label may also include a serial number, so copy the complete model number exactly, including letters, numbers, and punctuation. Drop it into the search bar and you will see only the parts that fit your exact model. This filters the entire Craftsman snowblower catalog for the unit, not just one part category. If dirt or worn paint hides the label, clean the area and check the owner's manual for the same identification information. Matching the full model number before ordering helps avoid guesswork and gets your repair moving.
