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.

This replacement foam air filter is an authentic OEM replacement part for both lawn tillers and cultivators. For a combustion engine to run effectively, the carburetor must maintain a balance of fuel and air. Therefore, the engine takes in air from the outside and mixes it with fuel. However, if the air is dusty, it will clog the carburetor and cause the engine to seize up. To prevent this from happening, manufacturers add an air filter like this one to capture any dust or debris. When lawn appliances are in use, they often kick a lot of dirt into the air. This means that air filters get a lot of use every time an operator uses their appliance. Eventually, the filter will reach max capacity, and air will no longer pass through it. When this happens, the filter will need replacing. Changing out an air filter is a simple job and will only require a screwdriver at most. This part is made for Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, and MTD tillers and cultivators and is sourced from its original manufacturer. This part ships individually.

Clearly, one of the parts that any small gasoline-powered engine absolutely needs is the fuel tank. This particular design is especially used in tillers and trimmers manufactured by MTD, Troy-Bilt, and Yard Man. This fuel tank is designed to be easily accessible for the user since replenishing the fuel supply occurs on a regular basis during a working day. While this fuel tank is made of rugged plastic and manufactured to last, fuel tanks get more than their share of wear, jolts, and collisions because of their location on the body of the yard equipment. Should the tank's ability to safely hold fuel be compromised in any way, it is necessary to drain the fuel from the equipment and replace the tank immediately. Regardless of the particular piece of equipment the fuel tank is on, it is bolted in place in a simple fashion with minimal hardware. Speaking of which, the old hardware should be retained, since the tank is sold as a separate unit with nothing more than the fuel tank and fuel and vent lines. Be sure when replacing the tank to use a part like this one that is a genuine OEM part manufactured according to the specs of the original piece.

This is an MTD muffler screw designed to hold the cover of the muffler in place.The muffler screw is tightened in place in the center of the muffler cover using the proper screwdriver.

This starter housing assembly is compatible with the following outdoor appliance brands: MTD and Craftsman.

Outdoor machines such as tillers and trimmers use gas-powered engines to run. These systems will have to idle without also allowing the machine to move or function. This is done through the use of a clutch that rotates the drum when the throttle on the machine is triggered or increased. When the operator needs the engine to remain idle without also cueing the drive shaft, it is the role of the clutch to keep things safe and functional. If a clutch begins to fail, the drive shaft may turn and the machine may not operate in a safe manner. This replacement clutch is made to work in a long list of yard and garden machines made by Craftsman, Yard Machines, Yard Man, Bolens, MTD, and Troy Bilt. This is an OEM replacement part that is made of durable materials and includes a single washer. It is shipped individually. The tools needed for this repair include a socket and wrench set.

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.
