Description

This genuine OEM welch plug manufactured for use in select Briggs & Stratton engines may be found in several locations in the carburetor. Its job is to seal air and fuel passages that help ensure that the proper air and fuel mixture gets to the engine. These plugs are exposed to constant vibrations, chemicals, and high temperatures. They can become worn, damaged, or break loose and get lost over time. If this occurs, a replacement will be necessary. It's often best to replace all of the welch plugs and other gasket components at the same time. This OEM welch plug is manufactured to specific standards for use in select engines manufactured by Briggs and Stratton and found in various lawnmowers and snow blowers from the brand, as well as select models from Lawn Boy and Toro. The plug is sold as an individual unit. Those who need more than one will have to order multiple quantities. Since this is an internal engine part, it is important to wear gloves and allow the engine to cool completely before doing any repairs.
