A Craftsman 917388592, has a 4-cycle, Briggs & Stratton engine.
If it is a 4 cycle engine, yes, it does need oil. If it is a 2 cycle the oil is mixed with the gasoline.
Being that it has crank case oil it would be a 4 Cycle. Engines that you mix oil and gas are 2 cycle.
Sae 30w
You will need 2 wrenches turning in opposite directions on the retaining nut - its not vey complicated.
If you have to add oil to the fuel, it is a 2-cycle engine. If you have to add oil through a filler spout into the crankcase, it is a 4-cycle engine.
Briggs and Stratton 30W for 4 cycle engines.
I saw online at a lawn/garden website that they are interchangeable.I have 4 troy bilt attachments and I need to know if they'll interchange with the craftsman weedeater also.Because craftsman has a good deal on 31cc 2 cycle for only 119.00 and I'm thinking about buying it.Does anyone know for 100% that these craftsman and troy bilt attachments are interchangeable?
The engine on a 4-cycle Craftsman trimmer is typically manufactured by companies like Briggs & Stratton or other third-party manufacturers. Craftsman often sources engines from these reputable brands to ensure reliability and performance. To confirm the specific engine model, it's best to check the trimmer's user manual or product specifications.
No. In this case, stroke and cycle means the same thing. So 2-stroke/2-cycle engines should have 2-stroke/2-cycle oil and 4-stroke/4-cycle engines should have 4-stroke/4-cycle oil.
No, the craftsman has a 4.5hp 4 cycle engine, so uses gasoline only. You will need to change the oil in the motor annually.
I question your cc's, but a 30W of SG or greater rating should suffice.
if you have to mix oil with the gas its 2 stroke or cycle and if you have to change the oil its a 4 stroke or cycle
