This exhaust gasket is a genuine Midwest Engine replacement part for appliances operated by small engines, such as chipper shredders, snowblowers, leaf blowers, and lawn mowers. An exhaust gasket's purpose in the engine is to create a sealed layer between the carburetor and the exhaust tube to keep dirt and debris out of the infrastructure of the engine. A malfunctioning or broken exhaust gasket could compromise the seal between the carburetor and the exhaust tube, meaning that dirt and debris could get into the engine and cause damage. An exhaust gasket could be subject to damage from overuse and is generally known to require replacement over time from general wear and tear. If the exhaust gasket seal is compromised, it should be replaced immediately. Evidence of dirt and debris compromising an engine could take the form of oil leaking from the carburetor, black smoke pluming from the exhaust tube, and lower engine pressure than usual. This exhaust gasket is compatible with the following brands: Briggs and Stratton, Cub Cadet, and Toro. This part sold individually.
