Official Yard-Man lawn edger parts

Common Yard Man 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.

Fixing your Yard Man lawn edger when its engine runs rough

When your lawn edger engine cuts out, smokes, idles poorly, vibrates or runs erratically, it could need a good tune-up to replace the spark plug, oil and air filter. Or the problem could be with the lawn edger's fuel system. Rebuild or replace the carburetor if the engine isn't getting a good supply of fuel.

If the engine misfires, backfires, sputters or jerks the starter rope out of your hand when you try to start it, the flywheel key could be broken. A broken flywheel key disrupts the ignition timing because the magnets aren't passing the ignition coil in synchronization with piston movement. Replace the flywheel key if it's damaged or broken.
