Description
This is a carburetor overhaul kit for 3.5 to 4 HP Max Series Quantum and 5 HP Industrial Plus Engines. It is secured to the side or top of a lawnmower engine, depending on the manufacturer. The carburetor is crucial to the overall performance of an engine because it is responsible for mixing the right amounts of air and fuel. The fuel from the fuel tank flows through a hose into the carburetor, which allows it to drip into a bowl.
The carburetor can become dirty or clogged over time for a variety of reasons. When this happens, it is often a good idea to take it apart and replace the components inside. There are other telltale signs that the carburetor needs an overhaul or repair. These include an engine that won't start, an engine that's running lean, an engine that's running rich, and one that's flooded.
This high-quality carburetor overhaul kit comes with everything needed to repair or rebuild a carburetor, including gaskets, needle, float, seals, and an instruction manual. Aside from lawnmowers, it works with specific models of leaf blower/vacuums, generators, pressure washers, wood chippers, and small engines from Briggs & Stratton, Craftsman, Cub Cadet, Lawn-Boy, MTD, Murray, Simplicity, and Toro. It is an OEM product sourced directly from the manufacturer and is sold individually. Please refer to the diagram of the specific model for the correct location and application of the components.
