# How to Change the Starter Rope on a Craftsman Blower
The starter rope on a Craftsman snow blower is the rope with a handle that hangs out of the top of the engine cover and is used to start the blower motor. If you can't start you motor or if the starter rope is loose, then you may need to manually remove the starter rope part to see if it needs to be replaced. You can purchase a replacement starter rope from an online retailer or order one from the manufacturer.
