Repair Clinic stocks genuine OEM Craftsman replacements that fit exactly and maintain your mower's performance and model-specific fit and performance.

• Fuel tank caps – Leaking or cracked caps cause fuel seepage and rough starts
• Air filter covers – Damaged covers allow dirt into the carburetor
• Oil filler lids – Missing or warped lids let contamination into the engine
• Deck covers and deflectors – Broken covers reduce cutting efficiency and safety
• Spark plug caps – Worn caps weaken ignition and cause hard starts

Craftsman Lawn Mower Cap, Lid & Cover Parts — Common Questions

Why does my Craftsman mower leak fuel from the cap?

A cracked or loose fuel tank cap is one of the most common culprits. Over time, caps warp from UV exposure and vibration. Genuine Craftsman fuel caps have proper gasket seals that prevent leaks and vapor loss. If your mower smells of fuel or leaves drips, replace the cap immediately—a leaking fuel system can damage your carburetor and cause starting problems.

How do I know which cap or cover fits my Craftsman model?

Your model and serial numbers are the key. They're typically stamped on the frame or engine shroud. Use these to identify your exact Craftsman mower generation—some models from different years use different cap sizes and thread types. Enter your model number in our search tool to find the correct OEM part, and avoid compatibility issues with aftermarket covers.

Can a missing air filter cover cause my mower to run rough?

Absolutely. Without the cover, dust and grass clippings bypass the filter and clog your carburetor jets, causing hesitation, stalling, and poor idle. A Craftsman air filter cover seals the intake path. If yours is cracked or missing, replace it to restore smooth running and protect engine life.

What's the difference between OEM Craftsman caps and generic replacements?

OEM caps match Craftsman engineering specs exactly—correct gasket material, thread pitch, and venting design. Generics often leak, don't seal properly, or fit loosely, leading to fuel contamination and carburetor damage. Genuine parts support proper fit and performance and your mower's reliability. Search your model number to find the right Craftsman cap or lid for your mower.

Craftsman Lawn Mower Model Number: Where to Look

Craftsman usually places the lawn mower model number on a sticker or metal plate on the frame near the blade deck. Depending on the mower, you may also find it under the seat or on the engine housing. Look for a label that lists the model number separately from the serial number, then enter that model number in the search bar to narrow the catalog to parts made for your complete mower. This identification step applies across every part category, so you can check fit for the repair you are planning instead of sorting through parts for other Craftsman models. With the correct number entered, you can get an accurate match faster and avoid ordering parts that do not fit.
