Husqvarna Leaf Blower Carburetor

This certified OEM replacement part is a carburetor kit for a gas-powered leaf blower engine. For gas to ignite in an engine, there has to be the right amount of air in the system. Without oxygen, the spark won't light and the gasoline will not ignite. A carburetor is responsible for maintaining the right balance of air and gasoline. Therefore, without a properly functioning carburetor, the engine will also not function properly. Carburetors begin to break down over time because of built up exhaust and gunk in the engine. As this grime builds up, the carburetor cannot get enough air and the balance is thrown off. While carburetors can sometimes be cleaned, if it has become overly clogged or damaged, it will need to be replaced. Signs of a faulty carburetor include shakiness and black smoke, backfiring, hard starts, or an engine that will not start at all. Replacing a leaf blower's carburetor requires the crankcase line, primer line, fuel line, air filter, and throttle linkage to all be disconnected using pliers and a screwdriver. This part is intended for Craftsman, Poulan, Weed Eater, and Husqvarna leaf blowers and is sourced from the original manufacturer. It ships individually.
