where do i find a replacement gas tank for craftsman 17 25cc
40-1
There are a few places you can find the Craftsman 17 25cc weed whacker manual online. You can also directly request the manual from the Craftsman company.
because there is not enough gas in the engine so to fix it prime it twice the amount of times it says to prime it then it should not stop if it stops it means you have a piece of crap
in need of a flexible drive shaft part no. 30-93936 for a sears craftsman 26.2cc gas weedwacker. Model #358.798131-26.2cc. Any suggestions?
Might be the fuel filter? Fish around in the tank and see if you can retrieve a tube that will connect to it.
Check your fuel lines, they come out of there holes on the tank.
The gas to oil ratio for this type of trimmer should be 40:1. Sears sells the premixed fuel for $4.99 http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_07136521000P?keyword=fuel+mix
How do you ajust the cab and how do you replace the gas filter.
It is 50:1.
