Common Sears hole digger replacement parts

• Spark plug. The engine's spark plug ignites the fuel mixture inside the cylinder to drive the piston.
• Carburetor rebuild kit. Use a carburetor rebuild kit to replace seals, gaskets and other components in the carburetor when the engine runs rough or won't start.
• Air filter. The air filter traps dust and debris from air entering the carburetor.
• Auger. Replace the hole digger auger if its dull or damaged.

How to troubleshoot your Sears hole digger when it runs rough

If the fuel has been in the tank unused for months, it can pick up moisture and fail to ignite (that's why you should drain the fuel before storing for the winter or add fuel stabilizer to the tank). Replace the fuel with fresh gas if it's old and untreated with fuel stabilizer. You might also need to replace the fuel filter at the same time. Performing preventive maintenance including a hole digger tune-up will also help the engine run smoothly.

Check the fuel lines for cracks and replace them if necessary. If you still have problems after checking those issues, consider replacing or rebuilding the carburetor.
