Parts for Briggs & Stratton 12E494-0110-E1: Crankcase Cover / Sumps, Cylinder Group, Kits / Gaskets - Engine, Oil Group Parts

This oil seal is a common part engineered to work in engines that power generators, vacuum cleaners, snowblowers, leaf blowers, mowers, and other small engine applications. The seal sits between the crankcase and the crankshaft. It is designed as a barrier to prevent oil leakage and to stop contaminants from leaving the crankcase. When the gasoline engine exhibits diminished power, and especially if it begins to emit oily gray or bluish smoke, there is a good chance the oil seal needs to be replaced. In order to replace the faulty seal, begin by removing the starter housing and taking off the nut that holds the starter wheel to the main shaft. The user will find the old seal on this shaft. Remove it and install the new seal, pushing it into place with the edges of a socket, then tapping it securely into place with a hammer. When choosing a replacement seal, remember to use an OEM genuine replacement part that is guaranteed to match the specs for the original part. This will ensure a quality match and long replacement life. This seal is compatible with Toro, Lawn-Boy, and Briggs & Stratton engines.

This is a genuine replacement oil fill cap that is found on many lawn and garden engines. The oil fill cap is responsible for securing the oil dipstick and fill tube. This small plastic plug screws into the oil fill tube with plastic threads and secures the oil, keeping it from leaking and providing the appropriate engine pressure. Over time, this small plastic piece can become worn, corroded, damaged, or even lost, which will require a full replacement. Without an oil fill cap, the pressure cannot be maintained in the engine and the oil could spill out of the machine. This genuine OEM oil fill cap is manufactured by Briggs & Stratton to exact standards. It is compatible with engines and equipment from this brand, as well as those from Toro, Snapper, and Vanguard. The oil fill cap is sold as an individual part and does not include the dipstick or any other parts and accessories. It is a good idea to inspect caps and other elements when performing maintenance to ensure proper operation. When replacing the filler cap, no tools are required, but the engine should be cool before doing any kind of work.

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 O-ring seal is used in all sorts of lawn and garden equipment as a seal for the oil dipstick. It helps seal the system from debris and dirt that could otherwise reach the oil and end up in the motor. Over time, an O-ring will start to shrink, which can result in air and oil leaks and a poorly performing engine. If the O-ring has pits, blisters, or pocks on the surface, it will also need to be replaced.If an O-ring seal is worn, damaged, or clogged, it should be cleaned or replaced before the equipment that houses it is used again. A flat head screwdriver can be used to remove the damaged O-ring. Once the old one has been removed, a new one can be placed into the same position before using the tool.This O-ring seal is designed for lawnmowers, snowblowers, tillers, wood chippers, pressure washers, generators, and leaf blowers.

This exhaust gasket is a genuine Midwest Engine replacement part for appliances that use small engines, such as chipper shredders, snowblowers, leaf blowers, and lawn mowers. The function of an exhaust gasket is to seal off the carburetor from the exhaust tube in order to protect the engine from the accumulation of dirt, debris, and gunk within the inner workings. The exhaust gasket may require replacement over time from general wear and tear. If the exhaust gasket is not sealing, allowing dirt and debris to accumulate within the carburetor and leaving the exhaust tube exposed, the part should be replaced immediately. Evidence of a damaged exhaust gasket could also manifest in the form of oil leakage, black smoke arising out of the exhaust tube, and unusually low pressure from the combustion when using the appliance. Any of these symptoms can be attributable to multiple factors, so one should assess if the exhaust gasket is responsible before ordering a replacement.This exhaust gasket is compatible with the following brands: Briggs and Stratton, Cub Cadet, Toro, and Simplicity. This part sold individually.

This replacement exhaust gasket is an authentic OEM part for a snowblower or lawn tractor engine. On these appliances, the exhaust is located quite near to the air filter, meaning that there is a chance that exhaust could leak into the carburetor. The carburetor requires fresh air to oxygenate fuel for combustion, so manufacturers install a gasket to help seal off the exhaust. Once installed, gaskets exist under a lot of pressure and will absorb the heat of the engine. These stresses cause gaskets to slowly degrade and eventually break their seal. If the exhaust gasket blows, the engine will not perform as it should. Be cautious of a noisy engine that burns more fuel than usual and gives off a burning smell. These are signs that the exhaust gasket has given out. If so, use a socket wrench and wrench set to disassemble the blower and air filter housings, then remove the exhaust manifold and change out the broken gasket. This high-quality replacement exhaust gasket is compatible with engines made by Toro, Husqvarna, Briggs & Stratton, and Snapper. It comes sourced from the original manufacturer and ships individually.
