Here is a replacement piston kit for use with handheld lawn and garden equipment engines. The pistons in an engine are essential to transfer combustion power to the various working parts of the machine. Pistons might need to be replaced if they have suffered any sort of damage or corrosion. There are several parts to the system including the piston, rings, wristpin, and circlips. The damage or wear and tear could occur in any of these different parts. When replacing a piston, it is a good idea to replace all of the parts of the kit, not just the part that is having issues. This authentic OEM piston kit is compatible with string trimmers, leaf blowers, hedge trimmers, pole pruners, and edgers. It is sold individually and is compatible with Husqvarna, Craftsman, Poulan, Poulan Pro, and Weed Eater brands. Owners buying a piston kit need to be sure they are getting the right part for their make and model.
I replaced the assembly case and piston and rod. I reinstalled new parts and the weed eater operates fine. Read more
A piston ring is a component located between a piston and a cylinder and helps the engine operate correctly. This component maintains gas compression between the cylinder wall and piston, makes lubricating oil to prevent scuffing, transfers heat from the crown of the piston to the cylinder, and prevents the piston from hitting the cylinder wall. There are several signs that a piston ring needs to be replaced. Excessive smoke may come out of the engine, oil may be used more rapidly, and your equipment might have a decreased performance without the power it used to have. If the engine is still in good shape, but the rings have lost their tension, replacing the piston ring is the best solution. Inspecting the cylinder for wear is also important since damaged piston rings can lead to cylinder wear. This piston ring is a genuine OEM product directly from the manufacturer. It comes as an individual part. It can be used on hedge trimmer, leaf blowers, and trimmers from Husqvarna, Weed Eater, and Poulan. Several tools, including a screwdriver and wrenches, might be required to install the replacement part.

A combustion engine will create a lot of pressure by igniting fuel and air with a spark. It features pistons beneath the valves and the cylinder block. Between these areas are the piston rings that have many purposes that include keeping gas compression between the piston and the wall of the cylinder, keeping a layer of lubrication on the inside of the engine, allowing adequate heat transfer, and supporting the piston inside the cylinder. This replacement piston ring is designed for use in a long list of edgers, trimmers, and blowers. It is compatible with Husqvarna, Poulan, and Craftsman machines. This is an OEM replacement part that will require a complex set of steps to install properly. It will require the use of torque wrenches, plug wrenches, pliers, screwdrivers, a mallet, and more to do the repair. It ships individually.
