Parts for Briggs & Stratton 135202-0293-01: Fuel Tank Group Parts

This is a replacement fuel tank gasket. It installs between the carburetor and the fuel tank assembly, and is sometimes called a carburetor gasket or a fuel tank assembly gasket. It helps to prevent leaks from occurring between the fuel tank assembly and the carburetor. Gaskets are subject to high temperatures and pressure. Over time, they will degrade, and leaks will eventually occur. When this happens, the gasket must be replaced. The gasket should also be replaced whenever the fuel tank assembly/carburetor are separated, such as to repair or replace the carburetor float. Signs the gasket needs to be replaced include visible leaks between the carburetor and the fuel tank and operational problems with the machine. To replace the fuel tank gasket, remove the air box and air filter. Disconnect the spark plug, and then crimp the fuel line closed. Remove the carburetor and then remove the old gasket. Note that it may require scraping. Make sure that both mating surfaces are clean and dry before installing the new gasket. Reassemble everything in reverse order. This is a genuine OEM replacement fuel tank gasket and is sold individually. It fits Briggs & Stratton engines on over 150 different yard machines.

The stop switch, sometimes called a kill switch, is triggered to stop the engine when the operator is no longer on the seat ,This is important for safety.
