Parts for Briggs & Stratton 128332-0136-E1: Carburetor Parts

This is a genuine intake gasket replacement that is designed for use in certain lawn mower engines. This specialty intake gasket is what is responsible for creating the seal between the carburetor and the breather tube so that no gases or fluids leak when they pass between the two. This gasket is subjected to constant high pressure, vibrations, and extreme temperatures, and over time it will need replaced. Gaskets are generally considered a part of routine maintenance on most engines, and many owners will choose to keep a few extra on hand in case of an urgent repair need. This genuine OEM intake gasket is manufactured by Briggs & Stratton and designed to offer an identical replacement for the original gasket that came on the new unit. It is compatible with lawn mower engines in models from Briggs & Stratton and Toro, and will fit on over 150 different engine models in lawn mowers from these brands. The intake gasket is made of durable composite material. It is also a good idea to replace gaskets when servicing the carburetor to ensure a proper seal after reassembly. Be sure to use the right tools to install this part so that it isn't damaged in the process.

This is a genuine carburetor overhaul kit that is manufactured for use on select small engines that are used in lawn and garden equipment. The carburetor is responsible for providing the air and fuel mixture to the engine to help keep it running properly. This assembly is full of gaskets and diaphragms, along with other small parts, that help move the fuel and air, mix them, and then send them into the engine. Over time and with regular use, these parts can become worn, corroded, or lose their seal. This can result in poor performance or stop the engine from running entirely. A replacement with a genuine OEM carburetor overhaul kit is preferred to changing out single parts. Rebuilding the carburetor can bring years of life back to an engine. This OEM kit is manufactured by Briggs & Stratton and is made to exact standards to provide an identical replacement. It can be used in their small engines that are found in lawn and garden machines like blowers, tractors, snowblowers, and lawn mowers. There are more than 150 models that can use this replacement kit. The kit includes all of the gaskets, diaphragms, and other parts to rebuild the carburetor.

The carburetor float is housed in the carburetor and is used to help control the fuel flow. It adjusts the needle valve and ensures that the appropriate amount of fuel reaches the carburetor bowl. This helps provide the right mixture of air and gasoline for the engine to operate at optimal performance. Over time, the float can become worn or detached, or the pin could come loose. When this happens, the flow is affected, and the engine will not operate correctly. If the float isn't working correctly on a lawnmower or another small engine, it might be time for a replacement. This replacement part is a genuine OEM product designed to be used with many Briggs & Stratton engines, including lawnmowers, pressure washers, generators, and other lawn and outdoor equipment engines. It is sold as a single unit with the metal cotter pin included. There are more than 150 compatible machines that this unit will work with. If your lawnmower isn’t working as it should or if the float has come loose and can't control the flow appropriately, this OEM replacement can get things back in working order.

The carburetor has a float valve to control the flow of fuel from the tank to the reservoir. A float valve has three main components - a float, seat, and a needle. When there is adequate fuel level in the carburetor, the float will rise, prompting the needle to close against its seat and prevent overflowing. If the float valve is malfunctioning, it may overflow the carburetor. In some cases, it doesn't provide ample fuel into the carburetor. If you suspect that the needle and seat are faulty, don't waste another moment. Over time, a defective needle and seat can lead to more expensive repairs like a leaking carburetor and even an engine misfiring. For a genuine OEM replacement, get this Midwest Engine 398188 Needle & Seat Kit. Please take note that the Midwest Engine 398188 Needle & Seat Kit only comes with the needle and seat. If you also need a genuine Midwest Engine float replacement, you will need to purchase it separately.

A carburetor on a lawn or garden appliance often has a float-feed chamber or bowl mounted on one side. This is a miniature fuel tank that takes a trickle feed from the main fuel supply. A carburetor is unable to use fuel that is under pressure, so the float chamber keeps everything at atmospheric pressure. When any sort of dirt or debris enters the fuel and air passages, it can cause an array of issues. The debris may enter due to shrinkage of O-rings and gaskets, and that is why a replacement gasket is essential. A carburetor screwdriver is essential when making this repair. Replacing it involves removing several pieces of the carburetor assembly, including a float assembly, inlet needle valve, and the old fuel bowl gasket itself. This authentic replacement carburetor bowl gasket will fit a small engine carburetor bowl on wood chippers, leaf blowers, pressure washers, tillers, snowblowers, lawnmowers, and small engines. It is compatible with Briggs & Stratton, Toro, Simplicity, Lawn-Boy, Cub Cadet, and Snapper, among others.
