Craftsman Tiller Carburetor Location

Craftsman manufactures a wide variety of gasoline powered lawn tools, ranging from leaf blowers and string trimmers to lawn tractors and tillers. The Craftsman tiller operates by loosening compacted soil and uprooting weeds with powerful, rotating tines. The carburetor controls the mixture of fuel and air to the engine. As the throttle is advanced, the mixture is increased, causing the engine speed to increase. Locating the carburetor takes only a few minutes.

Instructions

1. • 1

     Place the tiller on a hard, level surface.

   • 2

     Locate the engine that sits directly on top of the tiller's tines.

   • 3

     Remove the twist cap on the air filter cover found on top of the engine, on the rear right corner behind the gas tank.

   • 4

     Slide off the air filter cover; this will expose the air filter. Slide out the air filter. Look down to find an aluminum casing with an intake hole in the center. This casing is the carburetor.
