Official McClane lawn edger parts

Common McClane lawn edger replacement parts

• Edger blade. The edger blade cuts the grass along the pavement or sidewalk and digs a trench beside the sidewalk or pavement when cutting depth is set low enough to hit the ground.
• Wheels. Wheels allow the edger to roll along the pavement or sidewalk while edging.
• Recoil starter. The recoil starter spins the engine flywheel to start the engine when you pull the starter rope.
• Spark plug. The spark plug ignites the fuel mixture in the cylinder to run the engine.
• Carburetor. The carburetor mixes air and fuel into a combustible gas that enters the cylinder and drives the piston when the mixture is ignited by the spark plug.

Troubleshooting your McClane lawn edger when its engine won't stay running

Fuel system problems often cause the engine to stall, so you'll need to rebuild or replace the carburetor if it won't stay running. Add fuel stabilizer to the gas tank and your gas can to keep the fuel fresh. Gasoline can go stale after about 6 months.

Some engines stall if the gas cap vent gets clogged. Check your edger's gas cap and clear the vent if it has one. Replace the gas cap if you can't clear vent clogs.

Tuning up the lawn edger's engine may also help keep the engine running as you're edging sidewalks and driveways. Replace the engine oil, spark plug and air filter regularly to keep the engine running smoothly.
