Product Description

?

This is an Authentic OEM replacement part used on Lawn and Garden Engines. The purpose of this part is to mix air and gas before the fuel mix goes to the engine. If the engine won\'t start and the tank is full of fresh fuel, test the carburetor by removing the air filter and pouring about a teaspoon of fuel into the carburetor. Pull the starter rope. If the engine starts and then quickly dies, the carburetor is likely the problem. This Assembly includes a Metal Body Carburetor, Rubber O-Ring and a Gasket. When replacing Carburetor it is advised that you also replace Carburetor Gaskets to ensure proper Air Tight Seal for optimum performance. You will need a Screwdriver to perform this repair.

Since it is an 8 year old walk behind string trimmer that gets heavy use, I opted for a new carburator rather than fussing with the old. That with a fresh governor spring and it\'s a like new machine again! Simple remove and replace. Take a picture of the spring/linkage before removing if you\'re unsure about reassembly.

It was a very easy fix, plus the new fuel line had an inline filter in it which was a big plus. Just a few screws and bolts to remove and it was done. No special tools needed, just pay attention to the way you take it apart, and reassemble it the same way.

I removed and cleaned carb, cleaned inside of float bowl, corroded, drained sand cleaned gas tank, blew out all offices and hose. Put \"seafoam\" in float bowl, installed carb and filled with non ethanol gas. Still would not start. Ordered new carb. Two days later it started fine. Decided to keep new carb in case needed due to corrosion i n float bowl.
