Here is a replacement welch plug for use with the carburetor on small engines and various pieces of outdoor lawn equipment. It is important for a carburetor to have a tight seal, which will prevent an influx of air and cause issues with the fuel mixture. The welch plug is meant to prevent these issues. Over time, the plug could have lost its seal, it could have become corroded, or cracked, or it could have become lost. This could cause a loss of power or for the engine to run rough. Owners must replace the welch plug as soon as possible to avoid issues with their engine. This welch plug is a genuine OEM replacement part that is sold separately. The plug can be used on many different types of small engines and lawn equipment, such as lawn mowers, snowblowers, lawn tractors, and chippers. Compatible brands include Craftsman, Toro, MTD, Lawn-Boy, Cub Cadet, and Tecumseh.
This part is an inlet needle. This inlet needle works like a valve to transport fuel into the carburetor bowl when the bowl has drained and then stops fuel intake when the carburetor bowl is full. A new inlet needle may be needed if the fuel is not flowing into the bowl as it is supposed to. This can be evident if the carburetor floods or if the engine does not have enough fuel when it's operating at high speeds. A visual inspection of the inlet needle can also be a good indicator of whether or not it needs to be replaced. If any physical signs of damage are present, the inlet needle will need to be replaced. Remember to wear gloves when operating or performing care and maintenance on any outdoor power equipment machines.This part is a genuine Tecumseh part and is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer and it is sold individually. This inlet needle is compatible with snowblowers manufactured by Tecumseh and Toro.
