Description

This authentic OEM replacement flywheel key is compatible with a wide variety of outdoor lawn appliances. Often, when we talk about engines, we talk about them turning. This is because there are many rotating parts in an engine. Two of these are the flywheel and crankshaft. The crankshaft is responsible for translating the piston's up-and-down motions into a rotation. The energy created by these rotations is then stored in the flywheel. Connecting these two parts is a flywheel key. Flywheel keys can break or be sheared if the energy is abruptly stopped—usually due to a safety cut-off switch. If this happens, the engine will not start back up, and the flywheel keys will have to be replaced. To make the repair, you a screwdriver to remove the air duct and filter housing and a socket wrench to access the flywheel. This high-quality replacement part is compatible with mowers, snowblowers, tillers, and edgers from Simplicity, Briggs & Stratton, and Snapper. It is sourced from the original manufacturer and includes three replacement flywheel keys. No additional hardware is included.
