Craftsman String Trimmer Carburetor

A carburetor is responsible for combining fuel and air into the right combustible mixture. When it is malfunctioning, there are several warning signs to look out for. These include poor fuel economy, rough idle, flooding, and engine misfire. Installing a brand-new carburetor can help. A carburetor replacement is easy and starts with turning off the lawnmower. Open its air filter cover and use a screwdriver to remove the air filter base. Once detached, disconnect the throttle cable and fuel line. Place the new carburetor and connect the fuel line and the throttle cable. Put back the air filter base. This is a brand-new and original MTD carburetor.

This carburetor is a device for supplying a two-cycle engine with a mixture of air and fuel. This part comes pre-assembled and has a plastic choke lever along with a metal body. The primary purpose of a carburetor is to mix the right amount of fuel with air so that the engine runs properly. If enough fuel is not mixed with the air, the engine runs lean and can either stop running or gets damaged. On the other hand, if too much fuel is mixed with air, the engine runs rich, and it either floods, runs poorly, runs very smoky, or wastes fuel. The carburetor is in charge of getting the right mixture. If the carburetor is clogged, the engine will not get enough fuel. It may not start or may run rough. The procedure to replace the carburetor is quick and easy, taking only around 15 minutes, but it is recommended to work in a ventilated area. This carburetor works with outdoor power tools like the trimmer, leaf blower, and tiller. It is compatible with specific products from popular brands like Craftsman, MTD, Murray, and Troy-Bilt. It is sold individually and is supplied directly from the original equipment manufacturer.

This Craftsman carburetor is the component that mixes together gas and air before the mixture can reach the engine to power a lawn trimmer. If there isn’t enough fuel in the mix, it can damage the engine or cause the trimmer not to run. Too much fuel can create excess smoke, poor performance, or can prevent the engine from starting. Testing whether a carburetor needs to be replaced can be done by adding a small amount of fuel to the component after removing the air filter. If the engine begins to run but quickly sputters out, this is an indication that the carburetor has a problem. A replacement carburetor can be installed using a wrench, pliers, and safety glasses. This trimmer component is genuine OEM and comes directly from the manufacturer. It is compatible for use with lawn trimmers by Craftsman and MTD.

When the engine doesn't start but fuel is available, move to testing the component. The first step is to remove the air filter from the string trimmer. Add a teaspoon or so of fuel to the carburetor itself and try to start it. If it begins to run but quickly dies, the carburetor is likely the problem and will need to be replaced.This carburetor is a genuine OEM replacement part that is sourced directly from the manufacturer.

This is a replacement carburetor for Husqvarna string trimmers and is also used on some Craftsman models. It consists of an aluminum body with a bright blue choke and cherry red primer bulb. Engines rely on a mixture of fuel and air for proper operation. In a small engine, the fuel and air mix inside the carburetor. This is achieved with a series of small channels, which release a fine mist of fuel into a vortex of air. When one of these channels gets clogged, it can negatively impact engine performance. Carburetors can often be cleaned with a commercial carburetor cleaning spray, but this is sometimes not sufficient to clean a badly clogged carburetor. In this case, other measures such as hypersonic cleaners can often be effective, but they’re not always worth the cost. The alternative is replacing the entire carburetor, which can be done using this kit. This is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer, and it is sold individually. A heat shield is also included with the kit.

The primary function of a carburetor is to mix fuel and air in the right ratio. Fuel enters the carburetor through the fuel inlet fitting and then to the float bowl which delivers fuel to the other circuits. From there, the fuel goes to the needle valve, which is actuated by the float. When there is insufficient fuel, the float will stay down, keeping the valve open. Once the chamber has enough fuel, the float will go up and close the valve. A failed float bowl may leak or have too many dirt particles deposits that impede fuel flow. Luckily, you can easily replace a busted float bowl. This part is a genuine OEM Tecumseh 631867 float bowl replacement.
