Parts for Craftsman 358791071: Driveshaft / Handle / Shield Parts

All gasoline-powered trimmers must have throttle controls that increase the amount of gasoline flowing into the carburetor. As the amount of fuel increases and the engine revolutions increase, the clutch engages the spool and the trimming line begins to turn. The throttle trigger assembly is quite durable. However, it has several appendages and is required to be under constant pressure when in use. If any of the design parts fail, the trigger unit must be replaced or the trimmer cannot be used. To replace the throttle trigger, open the housing and disconnect the throttle cable from the old trigger. It's easy to see where the new trigger will fit in the housing because the screw holes will line up perfectly with the holes in the new throttle trigger. The throttle cable will fit into one slot on the new trigger and a spring opposite the slot will hold the trigger unit at the proper angle as the housing is replaced. This new throttle trigger is an OEM replacement part, made to the same exacting specification as the original. This throttle control is designed by Craftsman and used on most of their trimmers. It is also compatible with a few other manufacturers' trimmers, including Poulan and Husqvarna.

The handle assist is the handle that is held to steer and control the machine during the trimming process.

Remember always to hold the handle firmly while operating. This part is designed for use on trimmers or weed cutters made by Craftsman, Weed Eater, Poulan, or Poulan Pro. This is a genuine OEM replacement handle that will provide extra control and less hand fatigue. It is sold individually.
