Bolens Tiller Gasket & Seal

A carburetor gasket is a thin rubber material that provides a seal between two parts. Its primary purpose is to prevent fuel and air leaks. This gasket is installed between the air cleaner and the carburetor. Over time, it can crack and tear due to heat and fuel exposure. When this happens, the carburetor may produce the wrong combustible mixture for the engine. In return, the engine may experience rough idling and flooding. A carburetor gasket replacement is necessary. MTD makes this carburetor gasket replacement. It is manufactured to fit string trimmer, leaf blower and tiller made by MTD, Bolens, Troy-Bilt, and Craftsman. This brand-new carburetor gasket is sold individually. A fully assembled carburetor and O-ring are sold separately.

These O rings are replacement parts intended for use in a number of gasoline-powered lawn trimmers. The O rings serve as gaskets and are placed at the entry and exit points in the carburetors where gasoline and air are mixed and the expansion powers the trimmer. Though constructed of durable material, periodically the flow of the air/fuel mix or the rush of expanding air will cause damage to occur to the O rings so they become less resilient and the carburetor functions less efficiently. In these cases, users often decide to replace not just the element of the carburetor but the O rings as well. Users may notice problems with the carburetor when they cannot get an adequate adjustment, allowing the trimmer to function smoothly. They may also have trouble getting the trimmers to start at all or run without smoking. To replace the O rings, remove the air filter cover and carburetor. Once the carburetor has been cleaned, and the gasket and filter replaced, add a fresh mix of 40:1 fuel. The trimmer should start immediately. These OEM certified O rings are compatible with Bolens, Troy-Bilt, Yard Machines, and Craftsmen trimmers.

The carburetor gasket plate creates a seal between the air cleaner base and the carburetor body. This plate is made of durable material but it is exposed to constant pressure and heat, which can cause it to degrade over time. It can also become damaged or broken, which would require a replacement. If the gasket is degraded or damaged, it could allow air to leak out of the engine, reducing compression and affecting performance. Severe cases could result in total engine failure, which is why replacement should be done as soon as possible. This genuine OEM gasket plate is designed to be used in a variety of log splitters, tillers, and lawn mowers from brands like Yard Machines, MTD, Yard Man, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, and Husky. This carburetor gasket plate is made of durable materials and sold as an individual piece. No hardware is included for this part and will require an additional purchase if needed. Always allow the engine to cool before performing repairs and wear gloves for hand protection.

This is a genuine replacement O-ring, which is a standard part on a number of engines. This O-ring is specifically designed as a replacement for the one found in the carburetor on select lawn and garden engines. The O-ring is designed to create a seal in the carburetor to ensure optimal performance and prevent leaks. It is also designed to help create the right amount of pressure. Over time, O-rings can become corroded, worn, or damaged due to their exposure to pressure and high heat. If they become broken or damaged, they can result in poor engine performance or even total engine failure. This genuine OEM O-ring is manufactured by RYOBI and compatible with a number of tillers, trimmers, and blowers from this brand. It is also designed for use with select models from Bolens, Yard Man, MTD, and Troy-Bilt. There are more than 150 models that can use this specific O-ring. It is made of durable materials and sold as an individual unit. Keep in mind that because O-rings have multiple applications and engines may have more than one type, it is important to double-check the location and application of the part to ensure the right one is being used.

This o-ring is a genuine OEM part sourced from the manufacturer for use in many parts of engines in lawn and garden equipment. The o-ring is a type of gasket but is not flat like a gasket. It is circular and made of rubber. It is seated in a groove on the engine part and is compressed against another part to create a seal. This seal keeps air and fluids from entering or exiting the sealed part. Like gaskets, o-rings must be periodically inspected and replaced to ensure proper engine performance.Visual inspection of o-rings will reveal nicks, indentions, cuts, or tears on the surface of the o-ring. If the rubber has warped due to excessive heat, it will not fit properly and will need to be replaced. The replacement may not require tools, depending on the location of the rubber gasket. Remove the bad o-ring and wipe both sides of the area to remove the old grease. Apply fresh grease to the o-ring before installing it to ensure a tight seal. Press the new o-ring firmly in the groove before attaching the connecting part. If the ring does not seat well or has to be stretched to fit, discard and start with a new o-ring.The o-ring is sold individually. It is designed for trimmers and tillers. It is compatible with Craftsman, MTD, Bolens, Troy-Bilt, and Cub Cadet.

The design and purpose of the O-ring is relatively self-explanatory. It is an “O” shaped ring used as a gasket in lawn and garden equipment. It is designed to sit within a groove and be compressed during assembly. It creates a perfect seal that blocks the path of liquids or gases from escaping or flowing into regions of the machine where they are not supposed to be.The O-ring may be damaged if an outdoor piece of equipment is struggling to start or run. After checking the air filter cover, removing the carburetor, and cleaning it thoroughly, the next step is to replace the O-rings, carburetor gasket, and air filter, followed by the spark plug. Regular maintenance of the carburetor and routine evaluation of the suitability of the O-ring is essential to proper mechanical maintenance.This O-ring is a genuine OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer, and it is sold individually. The manufacturer of this product is MTD. Examples of compatible products and machines includes trimmers, tillers, weed wackers, brush cutters, and leaf blowers or leaf vacuums. It is compatible for products made by the following brands: MTD, Cub Cadet, Craftsman, and Troy-Bilt.
