Description

This is a carburetor overhaul kit. This kit contains all of the needed components to rebuild a lawn tractor carburetor. A carburetor overhaul kit is needed to fix problems including worn-out gaskets or diaphragms, gas or air leaks, and sluggish performance.A carburetor mixes fuel and air before delivering it to the engine. The diaphragm helps regulate the amount of fuel that is in this mixture. The gaskets create a seal that keeps unnecessary air out so that the engine works properly. If there is a slight leak, the operator may notice engine roughness when it's at idle. A larger leak will cause the engine to vibrate, misfire, or hesitate under acceleration. Signs that the carburetor diaphragm has gone bad include the engine not starting, cutting off while running, excessive smoke during use, or engine revving sounds produced independent of the operator. All of these signs indicate that a carburetor overhaul kit is needed.This is a genuine OEM part sourced directly from Midwest Engine. It is sold individually. This kit is compatible with lawn tractors manufactured by Midwest Engine, Briggs & Stratton, Toro, and Murray.
