Part #753-06183
This fuel tank assembly is supplied by the original manufacturer for use in trimmers. It is responsible for storing and transferring fuel to the engine for combustion. The assembly consists of a plastic tank, a fuel cap, a fuel filter, and the fuel lines which have a diameter of 0.25 inches.

If the small clutch assembly fails, the engine will likely stall, and the cutting attachment will not be able to engage. To remove the clutch assembly, first bind the piston to prevent it from rotating. You can do this by removing the spark plug and inserting a length of rope into the cylinder with a few inches remaining outside. Remove the clutch cover and use a clutch removal tool to remove the nut that secures the assembly. Pull the old assembly from the crankshaft and position the new assembly in its place, ensuring it is securely fitted.
