As everyone who has used lawn mowers and other gasoline-powered outdoor equipment knows, one of the most important considerations in keeping an engine running smoothly is the air filter. Yard work entails kicking up lots of dust, grass particulate, and assorted other clogging debris. In order for the engine to continue running smoothly, these pollutants must be filtered out of the air. If a mower chugs, runs weakly, or cycles when it is running, often the problem is a clogged air filter. The very act of doing its job well is what causes a filter to need replacement. A good filter captures the dust headed for the mower's air intake and, in doing so, becomes hopelessly clogged. The solution is to replace the filter. Because air filters differ in shape and size, it's important to make sure the proper replacement filter is utilized. Users can be sure that this air filter cartridge is a perfect replacement for original air filters because it is OEM certified as an exact match for the specifications of the original filter cartridge. This filter will work on tillers, wood chippers, and other small engines from brands like Briggs & Stratton, Toro, and Simplicity. Removing and replacing the old filter with the new one is a simple task that requires nothing more than a crescent wrench.

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.
