Piston Ring 575227901

This genuine manufacturer sourced replacement part is specially made for use with a variety of handheld lawn and garden equipment. This part is installed on top of the piston/connecting rod. Its purpose is to create a seal in the cylinder so that it can build pressure. A worn or broken piston ring will allow combustion gases to escape the seal and enter the crankcase, causing low compression and a loss of power. If compression is reduced significantly, the engine will not run at all. Includes one (1) metal piston ring. Tools Required: Receptacle for draining fuel, Torx wrenches, spark plug wrench, 10mm wrench (or adjustable), long-nosed pliers, rubber mallet, standard screwdriver, old starter rope (or similar cord), adjustable pliers, 2-cycle engine oil, razor blade, ignition gapping gauge. • Remove the air cleaner • Drain the fuel • Remove the air cleaner case • Remove the carburetor • Remove the intake insulator • Remove the spark plug • Remove the engine cover • Remove the insulator gasket • Remove the starter assembly • Remove the fuel tank • Remove the air duct • Separate the engine • Bind the engine • Remove the clutch • Remove the flywheel • Remove the starter pulley • Unbind the engine • Remove the muffler • Separate the cylinder from the crankcase • Remove the piston ring • Install the piston ring
