Briggs & Stratton Engine Parts

This is a magneto armature, also known as an ignition coil. It consists of a large rubber housing with an aluminum mounting armature and an electrical lead cable. An ignition coil is an electronic part that converts low-voltage power from an engine flywheel to high-voltage power for a spark plug. When the ignition coil has failed, the motor will not start. Early signs of failure include motor stalling, especially at lower speeds. These can also be symptoms of a dirty carburetor, so that should also be checked. To test an ignition coil, disconnect it from everything except the spark plug, then disconnect the spark plug boot. Insert a multimeter inside the boot, with the other contact on the metal coil housing. If it reads between 2,500 and 5,000 ohms, the ignition coil is working. If it shows an infinity or 1, the coil has failed. This is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer, and it is sold individually. Designed for Briggs & Stratton motors, it has also been used on Toro machines and replaces older part numbers 492341, 495859, and 491312.

This spark plug is a genuine Midwest Engine replacement part for outdoor appliances with small engines, such as lawn mowers, snowblowers, leaf blowers, and wood-chippers. The function of a spark plug is to ignite the combination of air and fuel filtering into the engine, thereby powering the engine; the spark plugs and the surrounding electrical wiring make up the ignition system of an engine.A spark plug might need to be individually replaced when it has reached the end of its lifespan; most spark plugs for small engine appliances last about 25 miles, but this depends on the specific model. When a spark plug is starting to reach the end of its lifespan, the engine's fuel economy will be greatly lowered and there may be ignition misfires. If the spark plugs begin to show signs of damage, this could portend serious damage to the internal combustion engine, so as soon as signs appear of lowered energy efficiency in the engine, the spark plugs should be replaced. Remember to always wear gloves when handling, repairing, and operating outdoor equipment. This spark plug is compatible with the following brands: Briggs & Stratton and Troy-Bilt. This part sold individually.

This is a push rod designed to work in a lawnmower engine. Push rods serve a vital purpose in internal combustion engines. When combustion occurs, it creates not just heat and energy, but also exhaust gases. The push rod helps vent those gases so they don't choke the engine out. The push rod attaches to the camshaft, and, as the shaft turns, the rod opens the exhaust valve. Push rods are subject to high temperatures, as well as wear and tear. They can also be damaged if the engine stops unexpectedly. Bent or otherwise damaged push rods can compromise engine performance, reduce power, or even result in engine failure and cause damage to other parts. Replacing the push rod will require the disassembly of the entire engine. Replacing the tappet valve will require removing the head, as well. This is an OEM part manufactured to exacting specifications and designed to work with Briggs & Stratton engines installed on over 150 different machines. It includes a single push rod and a tappet valve.

This is the rocker cover gasket, which seals the cylinder head on small engines so that the engine doesn’t develop leaks. Periodically, a gasket may deteriorate with heavy use. To maintain good engine performance, the rocker cover gasket needs to be replaced with an OEM certified replacement. This type of gasket is most often found on lawn tractors. Replacing the original gasket with the new one is a simple and straightforward process. There are four bolts holding the valve cover in place. Simply remove them and the old gasket, which will likely have to be scraped to get it completely off the cylinder head. Place the new gasket exactly over the metal frame of the cylinder head—it should fit perfectly. Hold it in place with a small amount of RTV, a silicon sealer that is impermeable to oil and gasoline. Replace and tighten the four valve cover bolts. This part is made by Genuine Midwest Engine. This part is used in Briggs & Stratton engines and also used by Toro and Vanguard. This is an OEM part. It's also sold individually.

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.
