Almost all small gasoline engines are started by pulling a starter rope, which initiates the compression in the cylinder that fires a spark plug, igniting the air-fuel mixture that starts a small gasoline engine. Starter ropes may become frayed with use and have to be replaced. Replacing the starter rope is not time-consuming. Begin by removing the shroud, the part of the manifold that covers the starter pulley. After removing the old starter rope, insert one end of the new rope into the pulley assembly and tie a knot in it so it won’t slip out of the slot. Then feed the rope into the starter pulley assembly by holding tension on the rope and using a screwdriver to turn the pulley assembly counter-clockwise until it is taut. Hold the pulley in place with the screwdriver to keep the spring from unwinding as you replace the shroud over the assembly. Keeping the tension on the rope, remove the screwdriver. The only thing left is to attach the starter rope to the mower handle. This starter rope is a genuine OEM manufacturer’s replacement part made by Midwest Engine. It is designed to work on most any Briggs & Stratton, Simplicity, Cub Cadet, or Toro made small engine. These engines are used on lawnmowers, chippers, and other small engines.

This authentic replacement oil seal is for use with a range of small engines. The oil seal is the lower seal that is located in the engine's sump. The seal is made to ensure that there are no oil leaks that could cause issues with the performance of the engine. If the seal is not working properly, it could result in leaks, and the machine may not have enough oil to function properly. Lack of oil can also cause serious issues with the engine. The oil seal is prone to wearing out over time. The seal can become worn and it can start to deteriorate the longer it is used. Owners should make it a point to replace the oil seals whenever they are changing their oil, oil filter, and gaskets. The oil seal is a genuine OEM replacement part, and it is sold individually. The oil seal is compatible with more than 150 different models of machine. This includes models of lawnmower, snowblowers, pressure washer, leaf blowers, generator, wood chipper, and other small engines. Compatible brands include Briggs & Stratton, Craftsman, Toro, Lawn-Boy, and Simplicity.

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 replacement choke shaft is an authentic OEM part for over 150 different appliance engines. The choke shaft is essentially a lever used to control the choke. When the choke is engaged, it controls how much air is released from the intake valve into the carburetor. With less air in the carburetor, the engine will burn less fuel and create less power. The choke shaft extends out from the engine, allowing operators to engage the choke. While useful, this does, however, mean that it is exposed to the elements and physical damage. If broken off, the choke will be unusable and the shaft will need replacing. To do so, use a socket wrench to disassemble the air filter and filter housing, and a pair of pliers to pull out the choke plate. Remove the damaged shaft by hand and reassemble with a new part. As a high-quality replacement part, this choke shaft comes sourced from its original manufacturer. It is compatible with engines made by Toro and Briggs & Stratton. This part includes a shaft, choke plate, and O-ring. This parts ship as a single unit.

This replacement part is a flywheel. This part is an important part of many different machines. The flywheel is typically attached to a rotating shaft and is responsible for smoothing the delivery of power from the motor to the machine.

It is an OEM replacement part which will ensure a proper fit. This part is sold individually.

The spark plug boot is a rubber piece that is responsible for connecting the spark plug to the spark plug wires and completing the connection. Spark plugs are necessary to create the engine spark that will start the motor in lawn equipment and other small engines. The boot holds the terminal and keeps everything protected from the elements and insulated so that it continues to work correctly. If the spark plug connection seems weak or if the existing boot is damaged, this replacement could provide the solution. This durable rubber boot will insulate the spark plugs and help any small engine run better. This spark plug boot replacement can be used with a number of Briggs & Stratton engines and is compatible with hundreds of different machines from Toro, Lawn-Boy, and Briggs & Stratton. This boot replacement is sold individually as a single piece and does not include the terminal or any other housing or materials.

The stop switch, sometimes called a kill switch, is triggered to stop the engine when the operator is no longer on the seat ,This is important for safety. If the stop switch is not functioning properly, inspect it for damage and replace it right away. Operating a machine without a functional stop switch can be dangerous. The stop switch is a genuine OEM part, and it is sold individually. The switch can work for many types of equipment including lawn tractors, lawnmowers, log splitters, wood chippers, pressure washers, and tillers. The replacement part is compatible with a range of brands, including Midwest Engine, Toro, Craftsman, Briggs & Stratton, Lawn-Boy, Murray, Snapper, and MTD.

This is a fuel line replacement intended to keep a lawnmower's engine running smoothly. It is long enough to make a couple of fuel lines, just cut the fuel line to the desired length and keep the rest as a spare. When a mower doesn't start easily or performs poorly when running, the fuel delivery system may have a problem and will need repair. The fuel line that supplies gas from the tank to the carburetor may be cracked or broken. When this occurs, it is best to replace the fuel line before it becomes a flammable hazard. This is an OEM replacement fuel line sourced from the manufacturer and is sold individually. This replacement part is compatible with different Briggs & Stratton mowers. Remember to use work gloves and drain the gas tank before the installation of this part.

This authentic OEM set of standard replacement rings attach to the pistons of a combustion engine and act as a seal to keep gas from escaping. If gas escapes from the piston, there will not be enough pressure to drive the piston upwards. Piston rings also help to transfer heat away from the piston so that the engine does not overheat and scrape away oil that's built up in the combustion chamber. These rings take a lot of abuse both from scraping and heat, so over time they may wear out or break. If piston rings break, the engine will produce low acceleration because the pistons cannot push the crankshaft. Other signs include greyish white smoke and built up oil. To replace a piston ring, first remove the pistons from the engine. These high-quality replacement rings are sourced from their original manufacturer and will work with Toro and Briggs & Stratton engines. This set includes three rings and no other additional hardware.

This OEM starter grip is a replacement for select Briggs & Stratton engines. The starter rope grip provides the handle that is used to pull the starter rope. When it is pulled, the starter recoil spring engages the flywheel puller, which then causes the flywheel to rotate and starts the rotation of the blade as the engine fires. The starter rope grip is made of durable plastic but it can become damaged or cracked over time. If it is broken, the rope will be unable to be pulled to engage the engine until the part is replaced. This is a genuine starter grip designed to work with a variety of lawn and garden equipment that features a Briggs & Stratton engine with a pull-start. The starter grip is sold in two pieces with the grip and a cap that snaps on once the rope has been tied inside of the handle to secure it in place. The unit is sold individually. This item does not include the rope or any additional parts.

The stop wire is a safety cable device offered on many types of lawn and garden equipment. It is pressed near the upper handle of a device to start it, which lets the blades spin and creates forward motion on equipment that is self-propelled. A stop wire can stretch out over time and will need to be replaced to ensure total safety. If the blade brake control is released and the blades continue to spin for more than a couple of seconds, the wire needs to be replaced.Take the equipment and put it on a flat surface before taking the metal on the stop cable and moving it out of the mower handle. Squeeze the center tabs of the wire with needle-nose pliers and pull the cable end through the bracket. Pull the other end out and then replace it with a new component.This is an authentic OEM replacement part for use with garden equipment engines.
