This is a valve cover gasket that is used in a number of small gasoline engines for a variety of lawn, landscaping, and outdoor power tools including log splitters, chippers, leaf blowers, power vacuums, tillers, and snow blowers. The valve cover gasket provides a seal between the engine's cylinder head and the camshaft to prevent oil leaks. The gasket also seals the spark plug port. This seal prevents the engine oil from entering the combustion chamber. Over time, these gaskets are subjected to heat extremes and the constant vibration of the small engine that runs at about 3,600 revolutions per minute. It is not uncommon for a valve cover gasket to begin to leak after several years of service. The first sign of this is usually white smoke emitted from the engine's exhaust, which is a sign of oil burning in the fuel mix. Eventually, the engine will lose power, as well. When replacing this part, make sure to use a gasket such as this one, which is a genuine OEM replacement part, manufactured to be identical to the specifications of the original gasket. This gasket is compatible with small engines made by Bolens, Huskee, MTD, Troy-Bilt, Yard Man, and Cub Cadet.

The carburetor is responsible for combining fuel and air within the engine to make internal combustion happen. A carburetor gasket acts as a boundary between where the air is and isn’t meant to be within an engine. If the carburetor gasket is blown, the air to fuel ratio will be off, and the motor will not combust properly. A bad gasket will cause the motor to stall out at idle or vibrate badly. The throttle will not behave properly either. Using a screwdriver, install this genuine OEM part by taking apart the carburetor, removing the old gasket, and putting the new one in place. Be sure to clean all the parts when taking apart the carburetor. This part is sourced directly from the manufacturer, and it is shipped individually. It is compatible with Craftsman, Cub Cadet, MTD, Huskee, and many more brands of snowblowers, lawnmowers, tillers, chainsaws, chippers, and many other tools with small motors.

This carburetor insulator is a genuine MTD replacement part for appliances with small engines, such as lawn mowers, lawn tractors, lawn trimmers, snowblowers, chipper shredders, tillers, and leaf blowers. The function of a carburetor insulator in a small engine appliance is to maintain a lower temperature for a running engine and to keep that heat away from the carburetor, the purpose of which is to mix the air and fuel in order to start the engine. A functioning carburetor insulator will prevent the engine from overheating.A broken or non-functioning carburetor insulator will likely not prevent the engine from operating, but it might slow down its power or reduce its fuel economy due to compensation from overheating. An engine with a damaged carburetor insulator might take in more fuel than usual or allow in unmetered air. An unmetered air leak can cause damage to the engine in the short-term so if there appears to be visible damage to the carburetor insulator, it should be replaced as soon as possible.This carburetor insulator is compatible with the following brands: MTD, Cub Cadet, Yard Machines, and Craftsman.

This recoil spring and pulley assembly is used in a variety of small gasoline engines that power devices such as mowers, lawn tractors, and log splitters, among other yard and landscaping devices. The assembly works by tightly coiling the spring in the starter housing. When the starter rope is pulled, the tension on the spring is suddenly released, creating a spark that fires the air/fuel mixture. The combustion starts the engine. The constant tightening and releasing of the tension at times will cause wear on the spring, resulting in the need to replace the spring and pulley assembly. To replace the recoil starter assembly, begin by removing the housing. Next, untie or starter rope and check to see if it is frayed and needs to be replaced as well. Remove the old assembly and install the new unit. Remember when re-tensioning the spring to wind the pulley in the opposite direction. Holding the pulley tightly so the spring does not release, attach the cap. Reattach the rope and coil it around the pulley. It is advisable to wear gloves for this task because the pulley and springs have sharp edges. This OEM certified replacement assembly is compatible with Yard-Man, Husky, Cub Cadet, MTD, Yard Machines, and Troy-Bilt yard equipment.

Fuel filters are created to strain out gas before it reaches the carburetor in lawnmowers and other gardening tools. Located in the fuel line or the fuel tank, it prevents unwanted debris from reaching the carburetor, which can cause engine damage. If the fuel filter is damaged or becomes clogged with material, it no longer offers the same protection to the carburetor. This can lead to difficulty starting the lawnmower and decreased performance. Correcting this issue early can prevent damage that might require a new lawnmower. Maintenance of the lawnmower by adding fuel stabilizer, changing the oil, and replacing the air filter will increase the life of lawn care equioment. Even if no issues are present, the fuel filter should be replaced after about 200 hours of use. Disconnecting the spark plug should be done prior to installing a new fuel filter. This fuel filter is a genuine OEM component directly from the manufacturer and comes as an individual part. It can be used with various Craftsman, Cub Cadet, Murray, Yard Machines, MTD, Huskee, Bolens, Yard-Man, and Mastercut lawnmowers, tillers, blowers, and wood chippers.

This carbon canister is a device used to control the amount of gas pollution that is released from small engines found in various lawn and garden machines. This is a genuine OEM replacement part that is sourced from the manufacturer. It is an emission control device also known as a charcoal canister. As gas evaporates from the fuel tank, the carbon canister catches the fumes and releases them into the engine so that they are not dispersed into the atmosphere. Age and regular use may cause the canister to crack or break and not hold the fumes inside. Typical signs that the canister needs replaced include strong fuel odors or leaking from the canister. If the canister is flooded by fuel, the canister will not operate properly. Fuel will spill out, and the canister will need to be replaced.
