Craftsman 358791010 line trimmer Parts

Yes. You can use 0.095-inch trimmer line in your Craftsman 358791010 gas line trimmer as long as your trimmer head is designed for that diameter and the line is installed correctly. We use the 358791010 owner's manual to confirm the approved line type and safe operating guidance.

What line size to use

Match the line diameter to the trimmer head and spool so it feeds smoothly and cuts cleanly.

• Use the line diameter specified for the trimmer head on this model
• Use round line for the most consistent bump-feed performance
• Keep the shield installed so the line limiter controls cutting length
• Replace cracked or damaged trimmer head parts before use
• Keep bystanders 50 feet away; trimmer line can throw objects

Quick fit guide (common line sizes)

Use this as a practical reference when choosing line at the store.

Line diameter	Typical use on gas trimmers	What to expect
0.080 in	Light trimming	Easier feeding, less cutting power in heavy weeds
0.095 in	General trimming	Stronger cutting, common bump-feed size
0.110 in	Heavy trimming (often fixed line)	More durability, may not fit all bump spools

If the line will not feed after you spool 0.095

A feed problem usually means the spool is wound incorrectly or the head is set up for a different diameter.

• Rewind the line evenly and in the correct direction
• Do not overfill the spool; leave room for the line to move
• Clean debris from the eyelets and spool cavity
• Confirm the head type (bump-feed vs fixed line) and match the line size

Why it matters

Using the correct line diameter prevents binding, improves cutting performance, and reduces wear on the trimmer head and engine. Correct line also helps the line limiter and shield do their job safely.

On the Craftsman 358791010 gas line trimmer, dying when you squeeze the throttle usually means the engine is getting the wrong air to fuel mix under load. The most common causes are a restricted air filter, stale or incorrect 2-cycle fuel mix, or a fuel delivery problem such as a cracked fuel line.

Quick checks (fastest fixes first)

• Check the air filter: If it is dirty or oil-soaked, the engine runs too rich and can stall when you accelerate.
• Verify fuel mix and freshness: Use fresh gasoline mixed at the ratio specified in the 358791010 owner's manual. Old fuel or the wrong mix can bog and die on throttle.
• Inspect for fuel leaks: The manual calls out repairing fuel leaks before use; leaks often point to a hardened or split fuel line.
• Look at the spark plug: A fouled plug can misfire when RPM increases.
• Warm-up and choke position: After starting, move to the run position; running partially choked can cause stalling when you give gas.

Fuel system issues that commonly cause stalling on throttle

A trimmer that idles but dies on acceleration often cannot pull enough fuel fast enough.

• Cracked, soft, or loose fuel line (air gets into the line)
• Partially plugged carburetor passages (varnish from old fuel)
• Restricted fuel pickup in the tank
• Carburetor mounting air leak (lean condition under throttle)

If you find a damaged line, use the exact replacement listed for this model: ayp lawn & garden equipment fuel line, large 530069216.

What to do based on symptoms

What it does	Most likely cause	What we recommend
Idles, then dies when you hit the trigger	Fuel starvation or air leak	Inspect/replace fuel line; clean carburetor
Runs only with choke partly on	Lean condition (air leak or clogged carb)	Check fuel line and carb mounting; service carb
Bogging plus fuel smell/black plug	Too rich (air filter restricted)	Replace/clean air filter; check choke use

Why it matters

Stalling on acceleration is more than an annoyance; a lean condition can overheat a 2-cycle engine, while a rich condition can foul the spark plug and load up the muffler. Fixing the air filter and fuel delivery keeps the 358791010 running smoothly and protects the engine.

The model number is printed on a label on your Craftsman line trimmer; for this unit, it appears as 358.791010 in the operator’s manual. Match the number on your trimmer’s label to the format shown in the 358791010 operator’s manual to confirm you have the correct model.

Where to look on the trimmer

Check these common label locations on Craftsman gas line trimmers:

• On the shaft/tube near the handle or throttle housing
• On the engine housing (starter side or near the muffler)
• Near the fuel tank area
• On a decal or metal tag close to the safety warnings

What the model number looks like

Craftsman model numbers are often shown with a dot in the middle.

You might see	It means
358.791010	Same model as 358791010
358791010	Same model as 358.791010
358.791010-XXX	Model plus a revision/suffix

Tips to avoid mix-ups when ordering parts

Using the exact model number helps ensure parts like the carburetor, fuel tank, and ignition components fit correctly.

• Write down the full model number exactly as shown on the label
• Include any suffix numbers after the model (if present)
• Use the model number (not the engine size or cutting path) when searching parts
• Cross-check the parts list section in the manual for confirmation

Why it matters

Craftsman trimmers in the 358 series can look similar, but fuel system and engine parts can vary by model. Confirming 358791010 helps you get the right diagrams, maintenance info, and replacement parts the first time.
