This is an original part from Craftsman for use with Trimmers and Cultivators. The carburetor mount gasket seals the space between the carburetor mount and the engine. The most common reasons for replacing the carburetor mount gasket is if there is oil leaking from the crankcase, the crankcase gasket is missing or damaged or any time the crankcase cover is removed. This part is sold individually. The tools that you will need to replace the carburetor mount gasket is a receptacle for draining fuel, Phillip's / Torx drivers, long-nosed pliers and a razor blade.

I removed the cover, and air cleaner. Removed the fuel lines, and removed the carburetor. Installed the new carburetor, then put the fuel lines on and put the cover back. When I was in there I wanted to make sure the piston and cylinder were good, they were so I bought a gasket to seal that up.
Remove carberator cover. Remove carberator, housing, and fuel tank. Clean the plate the crank case gasket seats on. Replace gasket, carberator and back cover. Get to trimming.
