Parts for Craftsman 917380542: Cycle Engine Parts

This is a genuine throttle return spring used on select small engines. The throttle return spring is part of the throttle system. It is attached to the throttle cable and the throttle body or carburetor, and is responsible for pushing the throttle closed when the gas is released and opening the throttle when the throttle trigger is engaged. If the spring is faulty, the throttle will not be able to open and close properly. This can affect the machine's ability to operate and even prevent it from operating at all if the throttle remains closed and no power can get through. A replacement should be done as soon as possible to prevent further damage to the engine. This genuine OEM throttle return spring is manufactured by Tecumseh, and compatible with machines from Toro, Husqvarna, MTD, Lawn Boy, and Tecumseh. There are over 150 models that can use this replacement part. It is made of durable metal and sold as an individual part. This throttle return spring is a simple replacement that should only take a few minutes. Be sure to use care when replacing the spring because it can be susceptible to damage under excessive pressure or strain.

The spring clip is a standard part found on many small engines used on outdoor power equipment. This clip is used in the carburetor, where its job is to interact with the carburetor float. This helps engage the inlet needle to allow fuel to flow into the assembly. If this spring clip breaks or becomes detached, the float and inlet needle will not function accordingly. This will affect the fuel and air mixture going to the engine, which could cause performance issues. In severe cases, the engine may not operate at all. Replacing the spring clip is the best solution and should be done as soon as possible. This genuine OEM spring clip is manufactured to strict standards by Tecumseh. It can be used in a number of products from the brand, as well as those from Toro, Cub Cadet, MTD, Husqvarna, and Briggs & Stratton. Compatible machines include snow blowers, lawn mowers, generators, pressure washers, and tillers. There are more than 100 models that can use this replacement part. It is made of durable metal and sold as an individual unit. Be sure to work in a well-ventilated area and drain the fuel system whenever performing engine and carburetor repairs.

Carburetors must have tight seals to prevent too much air from getting into the carburetor at one time. If there are issues with a welch plug, it could cause an engine to lose power or to run rough. The plug might have lost its seal, it could have cracked, or it could have become lost. Sometimes, the vibration of the engine is enough to cause a plug to fall out if it is not tightly sealed. A loose fit will cause problems with the flow of fuel. This genuine OEM welch plug is sold individually and can help to seal your carburetor so your engine retains power. The part can be used with a range of lawn tractors, lawnmowers, snowblowers, and small engines. Compatible brands include Tecumseh, Lawn-Boy, Toro, Craftsman, and MTD.
