The flywheel key is the component on outdoor equipment that keeps the flywheel connected to the crankshaft. Over time, this key may become damaged or broken, particularly if the engine experiences a forceful stop, like hitting a large stationary object. If the flywheel key breaks, the engine will not start. A slightly damaged flywheel key is noticeable through symptoms like misfiring, backfiring, or having no power. If any of these are occurring, the flywheel key should be replaced to prevent complete engine failure.A flywheel puller tool is required for this repair. Make sure the engine is cool before working on the flywheel. Wear safety gear, including gloves and eye protection. Disconnect the spark plug and remove the blower housing. Remove the flywheel mounting nut and set it aside. Take the recoil starter cup off the mower. Use the flywheel puller to remove the flywheel and access the flywheel key. Remove the broken flywheel and replace it with the new flywheel. Reverse the steps to put the mower back together.This flywheel key is made of an aluminum alloy and is sold as an individual part. It is designed for use in lawnmowers, lawn tractors, and other small engines manufactured by Briggs and Stratton, Toro, Lawn-Boy, Simplicity, MTD, and others.

A spark plug boot is an important piece of rubber hardware. The purpose of the spark plug boot is to connect the spark plug to the magneto. It is designed for use with pieces of outdoor lawn and garden power equipment that have small engines, such as lawn mowers, snow blowers, tillers, pressure washers, leaf blowers, generators, and wood chippers. It is compatible with products by brands such as Briggs & Stratton, Toro, Cub Cadet, Snapper, and Simplicity.The spark plug boot part is important to outdoor equipment with small engines because it safely connects the ignition coil to the spark plug. Naturally over time, and with the wear and tear from use, the rubber material on the spark plug boot may dry out, crack, and fail, and will require replacement. Luckily, the replacement or repair process of the spark plug boot should be straightforward, but the user replacing the part should always be sure to wear gloves during any assembly, replacement, or installation processes. The user should also refer to the owner's manual of their equipment and any guiding diagrams that clarify the placement location.This spark plug boot is made out of rubber. This spark plug boot is an original OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer, Midwest Engine. It is sold individually.
This genuine OEM replacement part is a spark plug terminal for a wide variety of small combustion engines. In a combustion engine, the spark plug generates a small electrical charge that creates enough power to start up the ignition and engage combustion. The plug connects to the ignition through the terminal. Spark plugs generate and then pass a small electrical current through to the ignition. Usually, the main issue with spark plugs is that this current hyper-extends and ends up frying the spark plug. However, if the terminal is damaged, the charge will not pass into the ignitor, and the engine will not turn. If the spark plug can carry a charge but the engine still won't turn, it's likely the terminal that needs replacing. This is an easy repair because the terminal should just snap on and off. If stuck, a pair of needle-nose pliers should make it easier. This high-quality replacement part is compatible with engines from Murray, Toro, Lawn Boy, and Briggs & Stratton. It is sourced from the original manufacturer and ships individually.
