After removing the screws, the blower housing has to be removed in order to remove the screen. After the screen is removed, clean the engine cavity with a blower to remove any dirt or debris. Install the new cover, then reinstall the blower housing and spark plug.This rotating screen is made of durable black plastic and is sold as an individual part.

This is an exhaust gasket designed to fit between the engine exhaust and the exhaust system. It’s designed for use on lawn tractors and is the OEM part for many tractors in the Briggs & Stratton family of brands. When properly installed, it will prevent exhaust leakage. It will also flex enough to allow for parts expanding due to heat. The main symptom of a failed gasket is exhaust leaking from the joint. Gaskets can fail due to a variety of factors. They can dry out, lose flexibility, and crack. They can chafe, losing their heat resistance and drying out prematurely. They can even tear due to excessive engine vibration. In this case, it’s advisable to check your engine mounts to make sure they’re fully secure and tightened. To replace the exhaust gasket, with the engine off, remove the two screws that run through the old gasket. Remove the old gasket and insert the new gasket carefully into place. Screw the exhaust system back together to complete the repair. This is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer and is sold individually.

Flange screws have a flange located near the top of the screw, which helps to distribute the connection force over a larger area to reduce potential damage to the machine. It also allows the screws to be used in oversized or irregular holes, and it helps to ensure they stay in place. This flange screw also has a hex top. Screws can last for a long time. However, they may become corroded or worn over time and need to be replaced. They could also become lost and need a replacement. Without all of the screws in the proper places in a machine, it could vibrate too much, which could render it less effective or unsafe to use. The flange screw is a genuine OEM part that can be used with many types of machines including lawn mowers, snowblowers, tillers, pressure washers, leaf blowers, generators, wood chippers, and other small engines. The screws are compatible with Briggs & Stratton, Craftsman, Toro, Cub Cadet, Murray, Lawn-Boy, Snapper, Simplicity, and MTD.
