This exhaust gasket is a genuine Midwest Engine replacement part for appliances that use small engines, such as chipper shredders, snowblowers, leaf blowers, and lawn mowers. The function of an exhaust gasket is to seal off the carburetor from the exhaust tube in order to protect the engine from the accumulation of dirt, debris, and gunk within the inner workings. The exhaust gasket may require replacement over time from general wear and tear. If the exhaust gasket is not sealing, allowing dirt and debris to accumulate within the carburetor and leaving the exhaust tube exposed, the part should be replaced immediately. Evidence of a damaged exhaust gasket could also manifest in the form of oil leakage, black smoke arising out of the exhaust tube, and unusually low pressure from the combustion when using the appliance. Any of these symptoms can be attributable to multiple factors, so one should assess if the exhaust gasket is responsible before ordering a replacement.This exhaust gasket is compatible with the following brands: Briggs and Stratton, Cub Cadet, Toro, and Simplicity.
