This carburetor rebuild kit is designed for use in a variety of lawn and garden engines. It contains the necessary components to rebuild the carburetor when it is not working. The air to fuel ratio is controlled by the carburetor. This mixture goes to the cylinder to ignite the engine. When the carburetor is not working properly, the ratio is not correct, and the engine does not run smoothly. If the carburetor is the suspected point of failure on the machine, test it by removing the air filter and pouring a small amount of gas directly into the carburetor. If the engine fires up but then dies, the carburetor needs to be repaired or replaced. Rebuilding the carburetor is less expensive than replacing it and can be done in a short time. Always work in an area with adequate ventilation. Remove the fuel and spark plug from the machine before starting. Remove the carburetor and replace the gaskets using the rebuild kit. Reinstall the carburetor and all the parts removed while working on the machine. This carburetor rebuild kit is sold as an individual part. It is compatible with log splitters and other small engines manufactured by MTD and Troy-Bilt.

This self-tapping bolt is an OEM replacement part that is sourced directly from the manufacturer. This self-tapping bolt is used to secure the silencer plate to the carburetor. The bolt taps its own hole as it is screwed into place. Using these bolts prevents the holes from being over-drilled or warped due to heat during shipment. The hole is the perfect size due to being tapped by the fastener.Self-tapping bolts create a tight fit and are a good choice for securing multiple layers of material. The holes do not have to be aligned before installation. The bolt makes the hole it needs through each layer. This makes it easier to disassemble and reassemble if necessary. Over time, exposure to the elements may cause the bolt to rust or corrode. If this happens, remove the damaged bolt and install a new one. This self-tapping bolt is made of heavy-duty metal and is sold individually. It is compatible with chippers, shredders, tillers, and other small engines manufactured by Cub Cadet, MTD, and Yard Machines.

This is a genuine OEM primer hose replacement part sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is used on tillers and other outdoor power equipment with a primer bulb assembly. The hose is the part of the assembly that runs from the fuel tank to the carburetor. When the primer bulb is pressed, fuel is collected from the tank and pushed into the carburetor to start the engine. Any unused fuel is released back into the fuel tank. If the primer hose has cracks or holes in it, the vacuum inside the hose will be lost and the primer bulb will not force the fuel to the carburetor. These cracks or holes can occur over time due to fuel eroding the hose material. If the primer bulb is not working and fuel cannot be seen in the tube, the primer hose should be inspected and replaced if necessary.Before replacing a primer hose, empty the fuel from the fuel tank and fuel lines into a clean container. Remove the spark plug. Remove and replace the primer hose. After refueling, check the primer bulb to ensure the primer hose is pulling fuel. This primer hose is clear plastic material; it is sold as an individual unit. This hose is compatible with tillers, chippers, shredders, and other small engines manufactured by Cub Cadet, MTD, and Yard Machines.

This is a genuine OEM replacement tether sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is used on many different fuel tanks on lawn and garden equipment. The tether attaches to the fuel cap and is part of the fuel cap originally. The fuel cap is vented to prevent heat from causing fuel tank expansion and possible explosion. The tether is designed to help hold the fuel cap in place during use. Everyday use may cause the tether to fall off. Without the tether, vibration from use or running into brush and trees can cause the fuel cap to come off. The cap is red to help it stand out on the engine. It has the image of a gas pump to show that it is where the fuel goes.If the tether breaks off and falls into the gas tank, use needle-nose pliers to fish it out. If that does not work, remove the fuel tank and empty the contents into a dish. The tether will fall out. The new gas cap and tether can be screwed in without tools.This tether is a plastic part that is individually sold. It is compatible with many fuel tanks manufactured by MTD, Yard Machines, Cub Cadet, and Troy-Bilt.

This is an OEM muffler stud assembly replacement sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is used on many different tiller and log splitter engines. These metal studs connect the exhaust manifold to the cylinder assembly and are considered part of the muffler assembly. During routine maintenance, these studs should be checked to ensure they have not become loose. Vibrations from the engine can cause them to shake loose if not appropriately secured. The exhaust manifold could fall off if the muffler studs come out. The muffler on small engines should be inspected to ensure it is working correctly at all times. Excess noise can lead to hearing problems. There are also noise ordinances in many neighborhoods that must be obeyed when operating outdoor power equipment. If the engine seems to be getting louder over time or is suddenly louder than it was, check the exhaust manifold and make sure it is attached. If it has been damaged or if the muffler studs are missing or loose, replace the part.This muffler stud assembly is made of metal and is sold as an individual piece. It is compatible with log splitters and other small engines manufactured by MTD, Cub Cadet, and Troy-Bilt.
