What it's made for: a gummed-up carb after stale gas.
Two carburetors close to it on our rating, each with a dated price.
What it has going for it
Carburetor. Fuel left in over the summer can gum up a carburetor, and a machine that surges or won't idle in November is a typical result. A replacement carb is often simpler than cleaning a varnished one.
Clean the old one: if the machine sat all summer with gas in it, fresh fuel and a can of carb cleaner are the cheap first try.
Swap it: the listing names part 889571 and Craftsman engines. Match the engine model on the shroud, not just the brand on the housing, before you order.

Our take
The HURI Carburetor for Craftsman 179cc is a plain carburetor, and for a gummed-up carb after stale gas plain can be the point. No buyer reviews yet, so this HURI carburetor has to win you over on paper. The catch with the HURI: it only fits the machines it lists, so check your manual before you order. We'd pick it if your engine surges, floods or won't idle after summer storage; otherwise, put it next to the Esttlamer Carburetor for Cub Cadet 2X26HP first.
Before the HURI Carburetor for Craftsman 179cc ships, check your model number: it is sold as part 889571 for Craftsman, and fit is model-specific.
Look for the plate on the frame, usually under the handle or behind the engine, and copy the model and serial numbers into your phone.
Before you swap the carb, try fresh fuel: stale gas is the usual cause. Our summer storage guide explains how to avoid it next year.
Parts are easy to fit in a dry garage and miserable mid-storm. Our parts guide lists what is worth stocking.
