Kmart String Trimmer Carburetor

This Craftsman carburetor is the component that mixes together gas and air before the mixture can reach the engine to power a lawn trimmer. If there isn’t enough fuel in the mix, it can damage the engine or cause the trimmer not to run. Too much fuel can create excess smoke, poor performance, or can prevent the engine from starting. Testing whether a carburetor needs to be replaced can be done by adding a small amount of fuel to the component after removing the air filter. If the engine begins to run but quickly sputters out, this is an indication that the carburetor has a problem. A replacement carburetor can be installed using a wrench, pliers, and safety glasses. This trimmer component is genuine OEM and comes directly from the manufacturer. It is compatible for use with lawn trimmers by Craftsman and MTD. This is an individual item that comes with the carburetor assembly and the carburetor gasket. Pliers and screwdrivers may be needed to complete this replacement or repair.
