Parts for Craftsman 316.292650: Engine Assembly Parts

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. Because of their small size and the ease of losing them during repair work or maintenance, it's recommended to keep a supply of appropriately sized screws on hand. Most importantly, when replacing a part make sure to use a genuine OEM replacement part. They are manufactured according to the specs of the original parts and are perfect replicas.

The carburetor replacement part here can work with several types of gas-powered machines for use in lawn care and gardening. The carburetor is one of the most important parts of an engine. It is where the air and fuel are mixed before the fuel goes into the engine. The correct ratio helps to ensure that the engine starts easily and functions properly. If the engine is difficult to start, if there are gas leaks, or the engine has trouble continuing to run after being started, the carburetor could be at fault. Over time, parts of the carburetor could fail. When there are issues with the carb, it should be replaced as soon as possible. This genuine OEM replacement carburetor is sold individually. It can replace the carburetors in certain models of edgers, trimmers, and tillers. Compatible brands include MTD, Bolens, Yard-Man, Yard Machines, Ryobi, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, and Craftsman. Owners must ensure they are choosing the correct carb for their make and model.

This is a genuine replacement O-ring, which is a standard part on a number of engines. This O-ring is specifically designed as a replacement for the one found in the carburetor on select lawn and garden engines. The O-ring is designed to create a seal in the carburetor to ensure optimal performance and prevent leaks. It is also designed to help create the right amount of pressure. Over time, O-rings can become corroded, worn, or damaged due to their exposure to pressure and high heat. If they become broken or damaged, they can result in poor engine performance or even total engine failure. This genuine OEM O-ring is manufactured by RYOBI and compatible with a number of tillers, trimmers, and blowers from this brand. It is also designed for use with select models from Bolens, Yard Man, MTD, and Troy-Bilt. There are more than 150 models that can use this specific O-ring. It is made of durable materials and sold as an individual unit. Keep in mind that because O-rings have multiple applications and engines may have more than one type, it is important to double-check the location and application of the part to ensure the right one is being used.

Protective cover that houses the air cleaner assembly on your tiller. Replace if cracked, broken, or missing to keep debris out of the engine.

Foam air filter for tillers and cultivators. Replace when dirty or damaged to maintain proper fuel-air balance for engine performance. Verify fit.

Clutch won't engage or burning smell from your tiller? This clutch assembly connects engine power to the tines. Moderate DIY repair for tillers.

This is the clutch drum that houses the clutch that engages the power tools on more than 50 gasoline-powered lawn and landscape devices. The clutch sits inside this housing, which enables it to rotate. When the RPMs of the engine reach a certain point, the clutch expands and causes the drive shaft of the tool to engage. Among the different kinds of equipment that use this clutch housing are cultivators, edgers, and grass trimmers. The clutch, and therefore the clutch drum, receive a great deal of wear for several reasons: the vibration of the engine, the rapid up and down change of engine revolutions, and resistance met by the tools that are transferred back to the clutch and housing. Signs that the clutch is failing include a slow response to increased engine RPMs and an inability for the power tool to engage the drive shaft. In these cases, the clutch and housing should be replaced in order for the equipment to operate properly again. When choosing a clutch housing, it is important to select one that, like this one, is a genuine OEM certified part. This housing is compatible with Craftsman, Troy-Bilt, MTD, Bolens, Yard-Man, and Ryobi equipment.
