Description
This is a durable metal valve tappet that is designed for use in small motor lawn equipment. It is attached to the push rod. The valve tappet takes the rotating motion from the camshaft and turns it into a linear motion for the valves to operate correctly. In some cases, the valve tappet can become damaged or break and will need to be replaced.If there is an issue with the valve tappet, a set of pliers will be needed to make the replacement. For safety, use work gloves and make sure the spark plug wire is disconnected before starting the replacement. The crankcase breather, muffler, and other components will need to be taken off to gain access to the valve tappet to replace it.This valve tappet is a genuine OEM replacement component directly sourced from the manufacturer. It is sold as an individual replacement part. It is designed to be used on lawnmowers, snowblowers, tillers, pressure washers, leaf blowers, generators, and chipper shredders manufactured by Briggs & Stratton, Toro, Cub Cadet, Lawn-Boy, Snapper, MTD, and Simplicity.
