The carburetor on your Craftsman tiller is the engine's fuel mixer — it blends gasoline and air in the exact ratio the engine needs to start and run. When your tiller won't start, runs rough, or dies mid-job, the carburetor is often the culprit. Ethanol in modern fuel damages carburetor internals: the float gets sticky, the needle valve corrodes, and jets clog. A carburetor rebuild kit with new gaskets, seals, and jets is usually all you need.
Repair Clinic carries OEM Craftsman carburetor kits and complete replacement carburetors for all major Craftsman tiller models. Enter your model number to find the exact carburetor assembly or rebuild kit your machine needs. Most carburetors can be rebuilt in under an hour with basic hand tools.
Check out our Craftsman Tiller Carburetor Parts to find carburetors and rebuild kits. Have your Craftsman tiller model number handy — it's usually stamped on the frame or engine.
Modern gasoline contains ethanol, which attracts moisture and leaves varnish deposits inside the carburetor. If your tiller sits unused for the season, stale fuel hardens inside the jets and needle valve. The float gets sticky, the passages clog, and fuel can't flow. A carburetor rebuild kit cleans and seals everything — it's a $15 to $30 fix that beats buying a whole new carburetor. If you store your tiller, drain the fuel tank or add fuel stabilizer before the off-season.
Yes. A carburetor rebuild kit includes a new gasket set, seals, needle valve, float bowl, and jets. You'll need a socket set, screwdrivers, and compressed air to blow out jets. The job takes 45 minutes to an hour. If you're not comfortable taking apart the carburetor, a full replacement carburetor assembly is easier — it bolts on in minutes. Repair Clinic carries both options; use your model number to confirm fit.
Your carburetor part number is printed on the carburetor body itself. Look for a stamped number or label on the top or side of the bowl. Write that number down. You can also use your tiller's model number (found on the frame) to look up the exact carburetor in our parts diagrams. Enter your Craftsman tiller model number in our model finder — we'll show you the carburetor and every part that matches.
OEM Craftsman carburetors are engineered for your tiller's engine displacement, fuel delivery rate, and air-fuel ratio. Universal carburetors often require adapter plates and bracket modifications. OEM is the safer choice — it fits correctly and your tiller runs as designed. Craftsman carburetors are reasonably priced and sold right here with same-day shipping options.

On Craftsman tillers, look for the model number on a label or metal plate attached to the frame or engine housing, often near the recoil starter. Clean off dirt and copy every letter, number, and decimal exactly, since similar Craftsman models can use different parts. Enter that information in the model number search bar to narrow the entire catalog to parts made for your specific tiller, including engine and drive parts. Type it into our model number lookup and the catalog narrows to parts made for your unit. That gives you a fast, accurate match and helps avoid ordering parts that do not fit.
