Craftsman String Trimmer Carburetor Parts
The carburetor is the #1 failure point on gas-powered Craftsman string trimmers. Hard starting, rough running, or a trimmer that won't fire at all — ethanol in fuel gums up the float needle, jets, and bowl gasket. Many times a carburetor rebuild kit fixes the problem without replacing the entire carb. Repair Clinic carries OEM Craftsman carburetors and complete rebuild kits for your exact model.
Don't let stale fuel damage your trimmer before the season even starts. A quality OEM carburetor or rebuild kit is a fraction of the cost of a new trimmer, and it'll get your Craftsman running like new.
- Carburetor won't fuel: Float stuck, needle valve corroded, fuel line clogged — rebuild kit often solves it
- Trimmer hard to start or won't start: Rich or lean condition from carburetor wear — OEM carb restores correct air-fuel ratio
- Runs rough or dies under load: Jet clogged or needle seat damaged — carb rebuild or replacement needed
- Yellow/orange flame or backfiring: Running too rich — carburetor adjustment or replacement fixes it
- Fuel leaks from carb bowl: Gasket failed or float assembly cracked — replacement carb assembly is the fix
Find your Craftsman string trimmer model number on the machine label, then use Repair Clinic's parts lookup to get the exact OEM carburetor or rebuild kit that fits.

Craftsman String Trimmer Carburetor — Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my Craftsman string trimmer carburetor get clogged with ethanol fuel?
Modern fuel contains ethanol, which attracts moisture and varnish builds up over time, especially if your trimmer sits idle during off-season. The float needle, jets, and bowl gasket are the first to fail. A rebuild kit cleans or replaces these small parts. If the carburetor body itself is cracked or severely corroded, a full OEM replacement is the better choice.
How do I know if my Craftsman trimmer needs a new carburetor or just a rebuild kit?
If your trimmer won't start or runs rough after sitting for a few months, drain the fuel tank and try a rebuild kit first — it's much cheaper. If the carburetor body is cracked, the bowl won't hold fuel, or fuel is leaking from seams, you need a full OEM carburetor assembly. Always verify your model number before ordering to ensure the correct fit and valve configuration.
Do I need an exact OEM Craftsman carburetor, or will an aftermarket carb work?
OEM Craftsman carburetors are engineered for your specific engine displacement and fuel system design. Aftermarket carbs often have incorrect jets or needle settings, leading to running problems and poor fuel economy. Always use the OEM carburetor or OEM-equivalent rebuild kit matched to your model number — it's one reliable way to help ensure proper performance and reliability.
What's included in a Craftsman carburetor rebuild kit?
A rebuild kit typically includes a new float, needle valve, seat, gaskets, and jet assemblies. It's designed to restore internal parts without replacing the entire carburetor housing. Kits are fast, affordable, and often solve hard-start and rough-running issues caused by ethanol damage. For detailed contents, always check the product description against your exact model number.

Craftsman String Trimmer Model Number: Where to Look
On Craftsman string trimmers, look for the model number on a label attached to the main housing near the engine or along the shaft. The label may also include the serial number, engine information, and other ratings, so look for the model designation rather than the part number on a part. Once you have it, type it into our model number lookup and the catalog narrows to parts made for your unit. This filters the complete Craftsman string trimmer parts selection, including fuel, ignition, cutting, and engine-related parts, to your specific model. You can then compare only compatible parts instead of sorting through similar-looking options, which makes ordering quicker and helps prevent a mismatched repair.
