Description

When the fuel in a small, gasoline-powered engine moves up the fuel line, it must be mixed perfectly with air and together burn in just the right mixture and amount in order for engines to function properly. Because too much gas might be coming into the carburetor or because there might be a need for more gasoline than can readily move up the fuel line, the carburetor has a small device called the float bowl. The float bowl has a ready supply of gasoline for use as needed by the carburetor. To keep the gasoline in check while all this is happening, a device called the float bowl gasket keeps all the elements separate. With use and age, sometimes these gaskets crack or grow brittle and must be replaced. This causes air to leak into the mix and the engine will not operate smoothly. Replace this gasket with a genuine OEM replacement part like this one, manufactured to be exactly like the factory original that is being replaced. This part is compatible with engines sold by Toro, Simplicity, MTD, Briggs & Stratton, and Cub Cadet. Part sold individually.
