Top Craftsman gas snowblower maintenance parts and accessories

• Shear pin kit. Shear pins connect the auger sections to the rotating drive shaft. A shear pin is made of soft metal that purposely shears off or breaks to protect the transmission and motor if a foreign object or hard-packed snow binds the auger. The shear pin kit includes multiple shear pins so you'll have spares to use all winter.
• Auger belt. The auger belt connects the motor pulley to the auger and drive wheel to rotate those components.
• Tire chains. The tire chains attach to the snowblower tires to improve traction in wet snow.
• Tune-up kit. Use this kit to prepare your snowblower for winter use. The kit includes a spark plug, oil and fuel stabilizer to help keep your snowblower engine running smoothly.

How to fix your Craftsman gas snowblower when its engine runs rough

If your engine is running rough, a problem with the carburetor is a likely cause. Rebuild or replace the carburetor to fix a fuel delivery problem. A clogged fuel filter will also prevent the engine from getting fuel, causing the engine to sputter or run rough. Check the fuel filter and replace it if clogged. A dirty spark plug won't ignite the fuel consistently, causing the engine to miss and sputter. Check the spark plug and replace it if necessary. Incorrect valve lash could cause the engine to run rough so check and adjust the valve lash. Check the engine sump gasket because a leaking gasket can cause low compression and a rough running engine. A thorough snowblower tune-up can also help the engine run smoothly.
