Fix engine won't start, loss of power, or rough running with this camshaft. Essential valve timing component for small engines. Moderate repair.

When the fuel in a small, gasoline-powered engine moves up the fuel line, it must be mixed perfectly with air and together burn in just the right mixture and amount in order for engines to function properly. Because too much gas might be coming into the carburetor or because there might be a need for more gasoline than can readily move up the fuel line, the carburetor has a small device called the float bowl. The float bowl has a ready supply of gasoline for use as needed by the carburetor. To keep the gasoline in check while all this is happening, a device called the float bowl gasket keeps all the elements separate. With use and age, sometimes these gaskets crack or grow brittle and must be replaced. This causes air to leak into the mix and the engine will not operate smoothly. Replace this gasket with a genuine OEM replacement part like this one, manufactured to be exactly like the factory original that is being replaced. This part is compatible with engines sold by Toro, Simplicity, MTD, Briggs & Stratton, and Cub Cadet. Part sold individually.

This replacement valve seal is a genuine OEM part for a lawn tractor or mower. The valve stem is a type of valve that transfers oil into the cylinder and then immediately reseals due to the pressure in the chamber. However, if the seal is damaged, it will not close and oil will leak into the cylinder. If this happens, the cylinder head may become overly lubricated and not run well. This seal helps prevent that from happening. It fastens to the intake valve and valve stem keeper. Seals will naturally wear out over time due to stress and exposure to corrosive oxidizing agents in an engine. When this happens, the valve will leak oil. To test if the valve seal is compromised, look for whitish-grey smoke that indicates burning oil and also measure to see how much oil the engine is consuming. If the seal is breached, use a screwdriver and socket wrench set to change out the part. This top of the line replacement valve seal is compatible with Briggs & Stratton, Toro, and Lawn Boy lawn tractors. It is sourced from the original manufacturer and ships individually.
