I purchased a Craftsman, model # 37034 late last summer. I live in a townhouse so my lawn is quite small. I've used it 8 times and this season it won't start. It doesn't seem to be getting fuel? Sears told me it's under warranty but the closest repair is one hour away and I have only a small car with a tiny trunk. I'm somewhat handy but I figured that if I try to fix it myself they will say that I voided the warranty. H e l p......

Yes, you will void the warranty, but Sears warranty does not cover the engine. I suspect your fuel problem is caused by fuel being left in the unit since last fall. If you take it to Sears, I'll bet you will be charged to have it repair, because this type of problem is not covered by the warranty. I would take it to the closest Briggs authorized repair shop with the sales receipt, I'm assuming it is a Briggs engine, and have them look at it. It may or may not be a warranty issue. You may still have to pay, but you will not void the Sears warranty.
