Mtd Gold Edger Valve & Float

This is a metal tappet that is used with many types of lawn equipment with small motors. The tappet is a component that attaches to the push rod. Tappets take the rotating motion provided by the camshaft and transfer it into linear motion so the valves operate properly. Over time, the tappet can break or become damaged and will require replacement.When replacing a tappet, users will need a set of pliers. It's best to wear work gloves during the process and make sure the spark plug wire is disconnected. Items like the mufflers, crankcase breather, and other parts will need to be removed to access the tappet. A visual inspection of the tappets can be done by removing them from the engine to check for damage. Remove the old tappet and replace it with a new part.This tappet is an authentic OEM replacement part that is directly sourced from the manufacturer. It is sold as an individual component. The tappet is made for use with lawnmowers, tillers, string trimmers, edgers, log splitters, and wood chippers manufactured by Cub Cadet, Craftsman, Yard-Man, and MTD.
