Craftsman Leaf Blower Parts

Common Craftsman Leaf Blower Parts & Repairs

Craftsman leaf blowers rely on a handful of parts that wear out or fail predictably. Whether you own a gas-powered model or an electric unit, knowing which parts are prone to failure helps you fix problems quickly and keep your blower running through fall cleanup season.

A hard-starting or non-starting gas blower almost always points to the carburetor — ethanol-damaged fuel clogs the jets and needle valve. Fuel lines crack over time, and spark plugs foul from old gas. Electric blowers lose power when the motor fails or the cord frays. Both types need fresh air filters and clean fuel systems to run their best. Visit our Craftsman Leaf Blower Parts page to find OEM replacements matched to your exact model.

• Carburetor: Won't start, hard start, runs rough, sputtering — ethanol damage to float and jets
• Spark plug: Fouled plug from old fuel, incorrect heat range — maintenance part
• Fuel lines: Cracked, brittle, clogged — fuel can't reach carburetor
• Impeller/blower wheel: Cracked blades, reduced airflow — impact damage or age
• Recoil starter: Pull cord stuck, won't recoil, spring broken — common on older models

Craftsman Leaf Blower Parts — Frequently Asked Questions

Why won't my Craftsman leaf blower start?

A Craftsman gas blower that won't turn over usually has a carburetor problem. Stale fuel left in the tank over winter gums up the carburetor jets and needle valve, preventing fuel from flowing. Drain old fuel, clean or replace the carburetor, and fill with fresh gas mixed with the correct oil ratio (if it's a 2-cycle model). If the spark plug is fouled, replace it first — it's a $5 fix. Check that fuel reaches the carb by inspecting the fuel line for cracks or kinks.

How do I find my Craftsman leaf blower model number?

The model number is stamped on the housing or printed on a label near the engine or handle. It typically starts with "CMXGTAMD" (gas trimmer/blower) or "CMXGDAM" (electric). Write down the full model number — it ensures you get the exact carburetor, air filter, spark plug, and fuel line that fit your blower. If the label is worn, check your original purchase receipt or manual. Enter your model into Repair Clinic's search to see all compatible parts.

Can I use a universal carburetor on my Craftsman blower?

Universal carburetors rarely work well because jet sizing, float height, and inlet diameter vary by engine displacement and fuel system design. Craftsman blowers use specific Walbro or Zama carburetors matched to their small engines. An OEM carburetor costs $30 to $60 and comes calibrated for your model. A mismatched universal carb will run lean or rich, damage the engine. Always use your model number to order the correct OEM carburetor.

What's the difference between a Craftsman gas and electric leaf blower?

Gas blowers are more powerful, run cordless, and handle heavy debris — but they need seasonal carburetor maintenance, spark plug changes, and fuel mixing. Electric blowers are quieter, lighter, maintenance-free, but depend on a cord or battery. Gas blower repairs focus on fuel system (carburetor, fuel line, spark plug) and starter parts. Electric blower repairs usually involve the motor, power cord, or impeller. Choose OEM parts for either type to match power output and durability specs.

Craftsman Leaf Blower Model Number: Where to Look

On Craftsman leaf blowers, look for the model number printed on a label on the main housing near the engine or handle. Some models place it on a shaft label, so check both sides of the blower and brush away dirt before reading the number. Record every letter, number, and decimal exactly as shown, since similar Craftsman models can use different parts. Type it into the model number lookup and the catalog narrows to parts made for your unit, across every associated part category. Selecting your model this way gives you a fast, accurate match and helps prevent ordering parts that do not fit.
