This o-ring is a genuine OEM part sourced from the manufacturer for use in many parts of engines in lawn and garden equipment. The o-ring is a type of gasket but is not flat like a gasket. It is circular and made of rubber. It is seated in a groove on the engine part and is compressed against another part to create a seal. This seal keeps air and fluids from entering or exiting the sealed part. Like gaskets, o-rings must be periodically inspected and replaced to ensure proper engine performance.Visual inspection of o-rings will reveal nicks, indentions, cuts, or tears on the surface of the o-ring. If the rubber has warped due to excessive heat, it will not fit properly and will need to be replaced. The replacement may not require tools, depending on the location of the rubber gasket. Remove the bad o-ring and wipe both sides of the area to remove the old grease. Apply fresh grease to the o-ring before installing it to ensure a tight seal. Press the new o-ring firmly in the groove before attaching the connecting part. If the ring does not seat well or has to be stretched to fit, discard and start with a new o-ring.The o-ring is sold individually. It is designed for trimmers and tillers. It is compatible with Craftsman, MTD, Bolens, Troy-Bilt, and Cub Cadet.

The design and purpose of the O-ring is relatively self-explanatory. It is an “O” shaped ring used as a gasket in lawn and garden equipment.

It creates a perfect seal that blocks the path of liquids or gases from escaping or flowing into regions of the machine where they are not supposed to be.The O-ring may be damaged if an outdoor piece of equipment is struggling to start or run. After checking the air filter cover, removing the carburetor, and cleaning it thoroughly, the next step is to replace the O-rings, carburetor gasket, and air filter, followed by the spark plug.

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.
