Parts for Craftsman 944515570: Driveshaft / Shield / Handle Parts

This is a throttle cable that fits many types of lawn and garden equipment, like pole pruners. This component is the part that links the carburetor to the throttle trigger to ensure the machine runs smoothly. Throttle cables have small connectors on both ends that can occasionally become brittle and break after extensive use. The cable can also sometimes become damaged or kinked during use and require replacement.If the throttle cable is damaged or broken, replacing it involves removing the throttle cable and then separating the two sides of the throttle housing. The throttle trigger can then be removed followed by the rear cover. At this point, the throttle cable itself can be removed. The new throttle cable will be passed through the engine housing and the large hole in the carburetor mounting plate. The cable housing can be pressed into the plastic tube before reassembling all the other parts of the tool.Made for a variety of pole pruners and string trimmers, this throttle cable works with tools by Poulan Pro, Craftsman, Poulan, and Weed Eater. This is a genuine OEM component that is directly sourced from the manufacturer. It comes as an individual part.

Designed for use with a wide range of string trimmers, this momentary switch is a genuine OEM replacement part. A momentary switch, also known as a kill switch, is a safety precaution that kills an appliance's engine in a moment, even if the engine is not set to the off position. This helps prevent accidents if the operator begins to lose control of the trimmer. At the touch of a button, the engine cuts and cannot be restarted for a short period (usually about five seconds). Momentary switches are positioned in a way that they don't often sustain damage but, over time, they can wear out. Once a switch stops working, it will need to be replaced to ensure safe operation. This is a fairly straightforward fix that only requires a screwdriver to open the tiller's handle and pliers to safely remove the wiring. This part is designed for string trimmers made by Poulan, Weed Eater, Paramount, and Husqvarna. It ships individually of any other hardware is comes sourced from the original manufacturer.

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.

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.
