Because crankshafts can differ in shaft dimensions, taper, journal configuration, output connections, and other critical specifications, compatibility should always be confirmed using the complete equipment model, manufacturing number, and engine parts diagram before ordering.

Important Notes

• Verify compatibility with your specific generator model, manufacturing number, engine model, serial number, and production revision before ordering.
• Homelite OEM parts information identifies D260316 specifically as “CRANKSHAFT ASSEMBLY.”
• The crankshaft is a major internal engine component and should not be confused with the crankcase, connecting rod, piston, camshaft, flywheel, or complete engine assembly.
• The crankshaft works together with the piston and connecting rod to convert reciprocating piston movement into rotational engine output.
• Do not select a replacement crankshaft solely by appearance. Shaft diameter, length, taper, journals, keyways, mounting surfaces, and other specifications can differ between otherwise similar engines.
• Inspect the connecting rod, piston, piston pin, bearings, crankcase, oil seals, camshaft, flywheel, and other related internal engine components when replacing a damaged crankshaft.
• A damaged crankshaft may indicate additional internal engine damage. Thoroughly inspect the crankcase and lubrication system before installing the replacement component.
• Check crankshaft journals and mating components for scoring, excessive wear, heat damage, or metal contamination.
• Replace damaged bearings, seals, gaskets, connecting rod components, and other service items as necessary during engine reassembly.
• Internal engine repair may require specialized tools, measurement procedures, torque specifications, and proper engine timing. Follow the applicable manufacturer service documentation.
• Ensure all internal engine components are properly lubricated during assembly according to the manufacturer's service procedures.
• This listing is for one Homelite D260316 Crankshaft Assembly only unless otherwise specified. Pistons, connecting rods, bearings, seals, flywheels, camshafts, crankcases, gaskets, and other engine components are sold separately.
• Match part number D260316 with your equipment's illustrated parts diagram or OEM service documentation before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
