The spark plug helps to start the engine by creating the spark that will cause the fuel to ignite in the engine during combustions. Over time, the spark plugs will become worn down and go bad. Multimeters are typically used to test the spark plugs. However, owners should also regularly look at the spark plugs to search for signs of corrosion that could indicate they are going to go bad. If they are not functioning properly, the engine will not fire and start. They will need to be replaced. This is an OEM replacement part that can be used on a range of small engines and lawn equipment from many brands. Compatible brands include Toro, Briggs & Stratton, Craftsman, Cub Cadet, Simplicity, and Snapper.

A hose clamp serves the basic purpose of holding together two connecting hoses. This is a crucial job in an engine. Since there are so many connecting tubes and hoses transferring oil and fuel within an engine, a leak could prove catastrophic. It could not only cause the engine to malfunction but could also become a fire hazard. Replacing a hose clamp is an easy job, though the exact process will depend on where the connection is located. A pair of pliers may be needed. This is a genuine OEM replacement part and will work with a wide range of appliances, such as pressure washers, engines, generators, tractors, mowers, blowers, shredders, and chippers from Murray, Toro, Briggs & Stratton, Snapper, MTD, Lawn-Boy, or Simplicity. This part ships individually.

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 genuine OEM replacement part is a rocker cover gasket for a wide variety of Briggs & Stratton engines. A rocker cover gasket seals oil into the camshaft. The camshaft (or rocker) is the part of an engine that translates the up and down piston movements into rotational movements to turn the crankshaft. While the engine is running, there is a flurry of motion that requires a lot of oil in the camshaft. The rocker cover helps keep all this oil inside the proper places, but it needs a gasket to help seal everything in place. Engines produce a lot of heat and after prolonged use, a gasket will warp or break. When this happens, oil will begin leaking from the engine. An obvious sign of this is if the engine begins burning bluish grey smoke and seems to be going through oil at a faster-than-normal rate. This part is sourced from the original manufacturer and ships individually.

This is a genuine replacement push rod made for use with several different types of lawn and garden equipment. The push rod is a component that connects to the camshaft.

If it becomes bent, it can create problems with engine performance and even damage other components.The push rod is made of durable metal but can be damaged through ordinary use. A damaged push rod should be replaced immediately. The valve cover will need to be removed before loosening the valve rocker to rotate it away from the other components. Once this is done, the push rod can be removed and the new replacement part installed.
