Craftsman 316350220 chainsaw Parts

On most chainsaws, the model number is printed on a sticker or stamped on a metal plate on the saw body. For Craftsman model 316350220, the exact label location and identification details are shown in the owner's manual.

Common places to check on a gas chainsaw

Look for a paper label or metal ID plate in these spots:

• On the starter housing (recoil starter cover)
• Near the rear handle or trigger area
• Around the fuel tank area (near the fuel cap)
• On the underside of the saw body (bottom of the crankcase)
• Near the bar mounting area (clutch cover side)

What you should write down

To make sure you get the right parts and service information, record:

• Model number (for this saw: 316350220)
• Any serial number shown on the same tag
• The bar length listed for the model (this model is commonly paired with a 20-inch bar)

Quick ID check (helps avoid ordering the wrong parts)

If you are matching parts like a guide bar or chain, confirm the bar length and chain drive link count.

Item you are matching	What to verify on the saw	Why it matters
Model number tag	Exact model digits	Ensures diagrams and parts lists match
Guide bar	Bar length marking	Determines correct bar and chain size
Saw chain	Drive link count and pitch/gauge markings	Prevents fit and safety issues

Why it matters

Craftsman chainsaws often share similar housings across model families, but parts like the saw chain, guide bar, and clutch cover components can vary by model and bar length. Using the correct model number keeps your parts selection accurate and helps the saw run safely.

Yes. We recommend scrapping a Craftsman 316350220 gas chainsaw by separating recyclable metal from any fuel, oil, and plastic components, then taking the materials to the appropriate recycling or hazardous-waste drop-off. Follow the safety and handling steps in the owner's manual before disassembly.

Safe steps before you scrap it

• Shut off the engine and let the saw cool completely.
• Drain the fuel mix and bar oil into approved containers (do not pour into trash, drains, or soil).
• Remove the bar and chain so the cutting components are secured for transport.
• Wipe off heavy oil and sawdust so recyclers can handle the metal safely.
• Keep the unit away from sparks or open flames while you work.

What you can usually recycle vs. what needs special handling

Item	Typical handling	Notes
Guide bar and chain	Scrap metal recycling	Transport covered or boxed to prevent cuts.
Engine and metal chassis	Scrap metal recycling	Many recyclers accept mixed metal assemblies.
Fuel and oil	Household hazardous waste	Treat as hazardous; keep in sealed containers.
Plastic covers, handles	Check local rules	Some programs accept rigid plastics; many do not.
Air filter, rags, debris	Trash (often)	Dispose per local guidelines.

Why it matters

Gas chainsaws can hold flammable fuel vapors and oily residue. Draining fluids, letting the saw cool, and securing the chain and bar reduces fire risk and prevents injuries during handling and transport.

If you are scrapping it because it is unsafe or damaged

Do not operate a damaged or improperly assembled chainsaw. If you are unsure what is safe to remove or how to secure the cutting components, use the owner's manual for model-specific safety guidance.

To find out which Craftsman chainsaw you have, locate the model number tag on the saw and match it exactly when you look up parts or the manual. For this model page, the chainsaw model number is 316350220 (55cc 2-cycle, 20-inch blade). See the 316350220 owner's manual for label locations and model identification details.

Where to look for the model number

Check these common spots on a Craftsman gas chainsaw housing:

• Side of the engine or motor casing
• Rear handle area or back of the unit
• Bottom of the saw body near the crankcase
• Near the starter cover or recoil housing
• On a decal or stamped plate close to the fuel tank

How to record the model number correctly

Small differences matter when ordering parts like a guide bar or chain.

• Copy every digit exactly (for example, 316350220)
• Watch for dots or separators on the label (some tags show 316.350220)
• If the tag is worn, clean the area and use a flashlight to read it
• Take a photo before the label fades further

Model number vs. bar and chain size (quick check)

The operator’s manual lists two closely related models with different bar lengths:

Model number	Engine type	Listed bar length
316350220	55cc 2-cycle	20-inch
316350851	55cc 2-cycle	18-inch

Why it matters

Using the exact model number helps you get the right-fit cutting components and maintenance parts. For example, this model page lists a 20-inch guide bar option like the bar, 20-in 200PXBK095 and compatible chain options such as the chain-20" 95TXL078G.

Craftsman chainsaws are sold under the Craftsman brand name; the brand is owned by Stanley Black & Decker. Your Craftsman 316350220 gas chainsaw is a Craftsman-branded saw, and the exact manufacturer can vary by model and production run, so we recommend using the parts list and Craftsman 316350220 operator's manual for the correct specifications and service details.

What this means for parts and repairs

For repairs, the most important thing is matching parts to your exact model number (316350220) and the correct bar and chain size.

• Use the model number to match diagrams and part listings
• Confirm guide bar length before ordering a chain (this model is shown as a 20-inch blade in the manual)
• Replace wear items on schedule (chain, bar, filters, spark plug)
• Use the correct bar and chain oil to protect the bar and chain
• Follow the starting, fueling, and maintenance steps in the manual

Common parts you may need for this model

These are examples of model-matched parts shown for Craftsman 316350220.

Part	What it affects	When to replace
Chain 95TXL078G	Cutting performance	Dull cutters, stretching, damaged links
Bar, 20-in 200PXBK095	Straight cutting, chain tracking	Bent rails, heavy wear, chain won’t stay aligned

Why it matters

Craftsman is a brand, not a single factory. Using the model-specific parts list and manual helps you avoid ordering the wrong chain pitch/gauge or bar length, and it keeps the oiler, clutch, and cutting system working safely and efficiently.

For the Craftsman 316350220 gas chainsaw, use a 40:1 fuel mix: 40 parts unleaded gasoline to 1 part 2-cycle oil. Our owner's manual specifies 40:1 and even gives a mixing table; using 50:1 in a saw designed for 40:1 reduces lubrication and can damage the engine.

Correct fuel mix for Craftsman 316350220

Mix fuel in a separate, approved container, not in the saw’s tank.

• Use fresh unleaded gasoline
• Add 2-cycle oil to make a 40:1 ratio
• Mix in a separate fuel can, then shake to blend
• Shake the can again before each refuel
• If you use alcohol-blended fuel, use fresh mix and avoid long storage

Quick mixing table (40:1)

Gasoline amount	2-cycle oil amount
1 US gallon (3.8 L)	3.2 fl oz (95 ml)
1 liter	25 ml

What if I accidentally use the wrong ratio?

Here is what typically happens in 2-cycle chainsaw engines.

Mix used	What it means	Common result
50:1 in a 40:1 saw	Too little oil	Overheating, accelerated wear, possible scoring
40:1 in a 50:1 saw	More oil than required	More smoke, carbon buildup, possible plug fouling

Fueling safety basics

The manual also calls out safe fueling practices.

• Fuel outdoors, away from sparks or flames
• Wipe up spills before starting
• Let the saw cool before refueling
• Move at least 10 ft (3 m) from the fueling spot before starting

Why it matters

A 2-cycle engine is lubricated by the oil mixed into the gasoline. On the Craftsman 316350220, the 40:1 ratio is part of the engine’s design, so matching it protects bearings, piston, and cylinder.
