Description

This replacement exhaust gasket is a certified genuine OEM part for a lawn tractor engine. This gasket helps to seal off the exhaust from the carburetor. For an engine to run, it must first mix fuel with air to prepare the fuel for combustion. By sealing off the exhaust, this gasket allows for fresh air to enter into the carburetor from outside the engine rather than from the exhaust. Gaskets often degrade over time due to the stress of pressure and heat. If the exhaust gasket breaks its seal, it can affect the engine's overall performance. Be on the lookout for an especially noisy engine that doesn't provide as much power and is less fuel efficient. There may also be a noticeable burning smell coming from the engine. To replace the exhaust gasket, use a socket wrench and wrench set to remove the air filter and blower housings, then remove the exhaust manifold and switch out the gasket. This replacement exhaust gasket is compatible with engines made by Toro, Briggs & Stratton, Murray, Snapper, and Simplicity. It comes sourced directly from its original manufacturer and does not include any additional hardware.
