Parts for Briggs & Stratton 120202-0780-E1C: Rewind Starter / Blower Housing Parts

This oil seal is a common part engineered to work in engines that power generators, vacuum cleaners, snowblowers, leaf blowers, mowers, and other small engine applications. The seal sits between the crankcase and the crankshaft. It is designed as a barrier to prevent oil leakage and to stop contaminants from leaving the crankcase. When the gasoline engine exhibits diminished power, and especially if it begins to emit oily gray or bluish smoke, there is a good chance the oil seal needs to be replaced. In order to replace the faulty seal, begin by removing the starter housing and taking off the nut that holds the starter wheel to the main shaft. The user will find the old seal on this shaft. Remove it and install the new seal, pushing it into place with the edges of a socket, then tapping it securely into place with a hammer. When choosing a replacement seal, remember to use an OEM genuine replacement part that is guaranteed to match the specs for the original part. This will ensure a quality match and long replacement life. This seal is compatible with Toro, Lawn-Boy, and Briggs & Stratton engines.

This replacement friction spring is a genuine OEM part meant for any number of small appliance engines run using a starter rope. This spring absorbs large amounts of kinetic energy that could damage the starter rope pulley system. It helps keep the pulley from being overstretched, which would create enough pressure to break the entire system. This spring sits at the center of the pulley system and creates resistance as the user yanks the starter rope. Friction springs can become worn out after repeated use, especially if a user tends to yank the starter rope quite forcefully. The most obvious sign of a worn of friction spring is if the pulley system lacks any resistance. As the user pulls the cord, they should feel a little pull back, but if the friction spring is worn, there will be much less resistance. Replacing this part is straightforward and will only require a screwdriver. Simply open the pulley system, carefully remove the old spring, and install the new one. This part is compatible with a wide number of appliances from Toro, Vanguard, Briggs & Stratton, and Lawnboy. It comes sourced from the original manufacturer and ships individually.

This genuine OEM replacement part is a spark plug terminal for a wide variety of small combustion engines. In a combustion engine, the spark plug generates a small electrical charge that creates enough power to start up the ignition and engage combustion. The plug connects to the ignition through the terminal. Spark plugs generate and then pass a small electrical current through to the ignition. Usually, the main issue with spark plugs is that this current hyper-extends and ends up frying the spark plug. However, if the terminal is damaged, the charge will not pass into the ignitor, and the engine will not turn. If the spark plug can carry a charge but the engine still won't turn, it's likely the terminal that needs replacing. This is an easy repair because the terminal should just snap on and off. If stuck, a pair of needle-nose pliers should make it easier. This high-quality replacement part is compatible with engines from Murray, Toro, Lawn Boy, and Briggs & Stratton. It is sourced from the original manufacturer and ships individually.

This is a fuel cut-off value that is used in over 150 different small gasoline-powered engines. Those devices that have this value include power vacuums, leaf blowers, pressure washers, and generators. The fuel cut-off valve is a safety feature that sits on the bottom of the fuel tank. In situations where the engine must be cleared of gasoline, this valve is very useful. It allows the gasoline in the fuel line to continue to the carburetor and to be combusted in the cylinder. Once the engine block is drained of gasoline, no further ignition of fuel is possible until the cut-off is reactivated. Although it is out of the way of casual contact, the cut-off can be bumped and damaged by contact with other tools, hoses, or debris. Also, since it is a narrow passage through which gasoline passes, it is possible for contaminants to jam the flow and create a blockage. If the tank is full of gasoline and the carburetor is functioning normally, an engine that won't offer to start at all may be the victim of a faulty cut-off fuel valve. This OEM genuine replacement is compatible with Toro and Briggs and Stratton engines.

This is a genuine replacement for the air cleaner cover on select Briggs & Stratton engines. The air cleaner cover works with the air cleaner base assembly to provide a housing for the air filter.
