Poulan Lawn Mower Engine

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.

Combustion engines operate because of the chambers that seal in the tiny explosions caused by fuel, air and a spark. The pistons are part of the process of taking power from those explosions, and the piston rings seal the combustion chamber so that all of the gases created remain inside of the engine's crankcase. This replacement piston ring will ensure that a chainsaw's engine can do that, as well as maintaining the right amount of oil between the piston and the cylinder wall. An OEM replacement part, this piston ring works with Craftsman and Husqvarna chainsaws, among others. It will require a wrench set, screwdriver and a pair of pliers to make the replacement. Sold individually.

Carburetors mix fuel with air to ensure the engine gets just the right amount of combustion. It works when idling and when in operation, and a chainsaw carburetor requires an adapter. This reduces vibration to the carb and isolates heat to help keep the carburetor cool. This carb adapter kit will connect the carburetor to the cylinder and uses a gasket on either side that can fail and require replacement. Because plastic can be used for a carb adapter, it can crack and lead to failure. This OEM carb adapter kit is meant for Craftsman, Poulan and Husqvarna chainsaws, and will work in many different models. Replacing it will require the use of a wrench set, socket set, pliers, and screwdriver. As noted, gaskets may also be needed, but this part is sold individually and includes only the chainsaw carb adapter.
