Description

This breather assembly is an authentic OEM replacement part for a variety of small gas-powered appliance engines. Like its name suggests, this part allows the engine to breath. For combustion to take place, the engine first needs oxygen to mix with fuel. As the fuel and oxygen combust in the engine, a lot of gases begin to build up. If they do not have the appropriate amount of ventilation, the built-up pressure would cause cracks in the engine. A breather allows for both air intake and gas ventilation. The signs that this part has failed can be varied, because a broken breather will affect multiple parts of an engine. One tell-tale sign is multiple blown gaskets or seals. As pressure builds up, these are often some of the first parts to give way. To replace a breather, use a screwdriver and socket wrench to gain access to the muffler. Unmount the breather and replace with the new assembly. For help finding these parts, follow the user's manual. This part is compatible with Briggs & Stratton and Craftsman products and is sourced from the original manufacturer. This part ships individually.
