Additional information

This shoulder screw, part number 738-0215A, secures components while also serving as a pivot point where controlled movement is required. The smooth shoulder supports proper alignment and helps reduce wear at the connection.

If a linkage binds, has excessive play, or components do not move smoothly, the shoulder screw may be worn, bent, or damaged. Grooving on the shoulder or loose fit can also affect how well parts pivot.

Before starting the repair, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Install the shoulder screw in the correct orientation and tighten it securely without restricting the movement of the attached components.
