Parts for Craftsman 316.292640: Engine Assembly Parts

This particular air cleaner filter is made for gasoline-powered trimmers. If any piece of lawn equipment kicks up more dust and particulate than a lawn mower, it is a trimmer. Trimmer line, unlike a mower, does not maintain a constant angle. Because trimmers are also frequently used as edgers, they fill the air with dust and debris. While air cleaner filters are made of durable material, they eventually become clogged with yard waste to the point that they simply cannot be cleaned. Users know that this is happening when the trimmer will not run smoothly, or it cannot be started at all when no other problem is indicated. The filter is replaced by removing the back cover and discarding the old filter. Before putting it in place, work a few drops of two-cycle oil into the new filter. This will help the foam capture more airborne pollutants. Reverse the process to install the new filter. When the time comes to replace the air cleaner filter, it is imperative that the new filter be an OEM certified part that has been manufactured to the same specifications as the original.This part may be used on string trimmers, tillers, and leaf blowers by Craftsman, Ryobi, Troy-Bilt, Yard Machines, MTD, Huskee, Bolens, and Yard-Man.

This carburetor assembly is a genuine OEM replacement sourced directly from the manufacturer. This kit can be used with multiple trimmers, tillers, and various other outdoor lawn and garden gas engines.

This is a genuine replacement for MTD engines in select models of lawn and garden equipment. The carburetor gasket is situated between the carburetor body and the engine to provide a secure seal to keep air from leaking out. The engine needs proper compression to run and that is ensured by gaskets and seals like this one. Over time, however, these are exposed to constant heat and pressure and can shrink or become damaged as a result. Replacing gaskets is typically considered a part of routine maintenance on most equipment. Gaskets should be replaced immediately when they fail, and inspected any time work is done on the carburetor. This OEM carburetor gasket is designed to work with more than 150 different models of blowers, trimmers, cultivators, and edgers. It can be used in products from brands like MTD, RYOBI, Bolens, Troy-Bilt, Cub Cadet, Husky, Yard Man, and Yard Machines. The gasket is made of durable metal material and is sold as a single unit. Hardware is not included with this item. Be sure to cool the engine before performing repairs and drain the fuel system to prevent leaks and spills when working on the carburetor and its components.

A carburetor may dry up after prolonged periods of inactivity, causing problems starting the engine. If this happens, the carburetor will need to be primed. Priming is adding fuel to the carburetor. Most lawnmowers have a priming bulb so you don't have to pour gas into the carburetor manually. This component is usually a small rubber button, which suctions fuel from the tank. To activate it, simply press it several times. If it fails to draw fuel, then a primer bulb may be needed. Primer bulbs can deteriorate due to old age, repeated use, and exposure to chemicals and the environment. For worry-free machine compatibility, choose this Primer Bulb & Hose Assembly made by MTD. It will work with trimmers, leaf blowers, and string trimmers from MTD, Bolens, Yard-Man, Craftsman, Ryobi, and Huskee. The assembly comes with one primer bulb and one hose.

The clutch assembly uses centrifugal force to connect the shafts and create the drive shaft motion that powers the machine. The drive shaft nests inside the other shaft, and over time these parts can wear and become damaged with regular use. Today's parts can even continue to function long past when they should, so it may not be apparent that a clutch assembly needs to be replaced until the entire unit is bad. If the engine is not performing as it should or if the drive shaft seems unstable, it may be time to replace the clutch assembly. This genuine OEM part includes everything needed for the job. This OEM clutch replacement is designed for use with various cultivators, edgers, and trimmers. It can be used on machines from MTD, RYOBI, Troy-Bilt, Bolens, Yard-Man, Cub Cadet, Murray, and Husky.

Few parts fulfill as many roles on lawn mowers and other landscaping power tools than the cover screw. This screw serves to attach metal housing parts, assemblies, and shrouds to one another on equipment such as power vacuums, snow blowers, edgers, tillers, hedge trimmers, lawn tractors, leaf blowers, grass trimmers and cultivators. As these are extremely durable metal screws, they seldom fail under ordinary use. It should be noted, however, that they are most often used at connection and pressure points. Stresses at these junctions sometime loosen screws, causing them to be lost or occasionally resulting in stripped threads. It's also occasionally the case that these screws are lost during repair or routine maintenance of yard equipment because of their small size. Users should make sure to consult their owner's manuals for replacement steps and any special instructions.
