This float bowl is a part associated with the carburetor of a small engine for lawn and garden equipment like lawn tractors. The component is mounted on the side of the carburetor and is a small fuel tank fed by the regular fuel tank. It floats in the fuel, and as the level drops, the float also drops to allow more fuel into the chamber. When it fills, the float bowl moves up and closes the float needle so fuel isn’t released. Some signs that a float bowl may not be working correctly include an engine stalling at high speeds, an engine that keeps flooding, or fuel that is too lean or too rich. Replacement requires turning off the flow of fuel, removing the drain plug, and placing a screwdriver against the pin holding the hinges of the float. This float bowl is a genuine OEM product directly from the manufacturer and comes as an individual item. It is designed for use with Briggs & Stratton, Simplicity, and Cub Cadet lawnmowers and lawn tractors. The float bowl comes with a screw, a washer, and an O-ring and requires basic tools to install.

To install this filter, simply remove the filter cover, remove the old filter, seat the new filter in place, and replace the cover. Be sure to disengage the engine when working on these parts, and always wear gloves.

This is an exhaust gasket designed to fit between the engine exhaust and the exhaust system. It’s designed for use on lawn tractors and is the OEM part for many tractors in the Briggs & Stratton family of brands. When properly installed, it will prevent exhaust leakage. It will also flex enough to allow for parts expanding due to heat. The main symptom of a failed gasket is exhaust leaking from the joint. Gaskets can fail due to a variety of factors. They can dry out, lose flexibility, and crack. They can chafe, losing their heat resistance and drying out prematurely. They can even tear due to excessive engine vibration. In this case, it’s advisable to check your engine mounts to make sure they’re fully secure and tightened. To replace the exhaust gasket, with the engine off, remove the two screws that run through the old gasket. Remove the old gasket and insert the new gasket carefully into place. Screw the exhaust system back together to complete the repair. This is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer and is sold individually.

The washer seal is an essential part of the carburetor float bowl on engines with carburetors on lawn mowers. This washer prevents gasoline leaks from the carburetor by sealing the bolt to the bowl.The washer seal is normally replaced when overhauling the carburetor. Reusing the old one is not recommended. If the seal between the bolt and the bowl is not tight, gasoline could leak and cause damage to the engine or cause bodily injury due to combustion. There are normally two bolts on the carburetor bowl. Each bolt will have a washer seal. It is a good idea to replace both seals at the same time to ensure both are flush with the bowl.When replacing the washer seal, it has to be flush and tight but not overtightened. If it is overtightened, it can crack and strip, making it leak and useless. If necessary, the washer can be trimmed to make a tighter fit. After making sure the fit is flush, it slides over the bolts that make the connection from the bolt to the bowl. The bolts are then tightened.This OEM Midwest Engine washer seal is sold individually for Briggs and Stratton lawn mower and lawn tractor engines.

A pinion gear is a small cylindrical component that is integral with a rack and pinion mechanism. Together with the rack, its primary function is to transform rotational movement into linear motion. Machines like lawnmowers and lawn tractors have a rack and pinion system. When the steering wheel of a tractor is moved, the gear will rotate, which engages the rack. Although this component is exceptionally durable, it is still subject to wear and tear. Some symptoms of a bad rack and gear mechanism include a loose or tight steering wheel and a grinding noise. Performing a do-it-yourself rack and gear replacement is possible and takes only 30 to 45 minutes. If the rack is in good condition, but the gear is not, omly a pinion gear replacement may be needed. This brand-new, genuine Midwest Engine 695708 pinion ensures quality and compatibility with lawn tractors, generators, mowers, and engines from Midwest Engine, Briggs & Stratton, and Craftsman. The gear is sold individually. An original Midwest Engine Gear Ring is not included.

The fuel cut-off valve is used as an external mechanism to stop the flow of gasoline from the fuel assembly to the engine to conserve fuel and maintain safe operation. If your device did not come with a cut-off valve, this is an easy install to give more control over the engine’s operation. When installing a fuel cut-off valve in your small gasoline engine, the first thing to note is the little arrow on the side of the valve. This indicates the direction that fuel will be flowing from the tank to the motor. Empty the fuel tank before proceeding with the repair. Remove the fuel line from the tank and cut the hose in two. Install properly sized hose clamps on either side of the cut and force the two ends of the valve into the severed line. Reattach the fuel lines and fill the tank. This fuel cut-off valve is compatible with a variety of gasoline-driven tools, including lawnmowers, generators, snowblowers, and chippers. Brands that use this OEM replacement part include Craftsman, Briggs & Stratton, Snapper, Simplicity, Toro, and Cub Cadet. This OEM part is sold individually.
