The flywheel key is the component on outdoor equipment that keeps the flywheel connected to the crankshaft. Over time, this key may become damaged or broken, particularly if the engine experiences a forceful stop, like hitting a large stationary object. If the flywheel key breaks, the engine will not start. A slightly damaged flywheel key is noticeable through symptoms like misfiring, backfiring, or having no power. If any of these are occurring, the flywheel key should be replaced to prevent complete engine failure.A flywheel puller tool is required for this repair. Make sure the engine is cool before working on the flywheel. Wear safety gear, including gloves and eye protection. Disconnect the spark plug and remove the blower housing. Remove the flywheel mounting nut and set it aside. Take the recoil starter cup off the mower. Use the flywheel puller to remove the flywheel and access the flywheel key. Remove the broken flywheel and replace it with the new flywheel. Reverse the steps to put the mower back together.This flywheel key is made of an aluminum alloy and is sold as an individual part. It is designed for use in lawnmowers, lawn tractors, and other small engines manufactured by Briggs and Stratton, Toro, Lawn-Boy, Simplicity, MTD, and others.

This genuine Midwest Engine foam pre-cleaner can be used as a replacement part for appliances operated by small engines, including lawn tractors, lawn mowers, snowblowers, leaf blowers, vacuums, and tillers. A foam pre-cleaner is an air filtration system made of a foam layer through which the air must pass before accessing the primary air filter. The purpose of a foam pre-cleaner is to put less stress and strain on the primary air filter, thereby requiring fewer primary air filter changes. The foam pre-cleaner in a small engine appliance should be cleaned once every 24 hours of appliance usage; if it is not cleaned regularly on this timetable, it is highly likely that it will have to be replaced after less than optimum hours of appliance usage. If the regular air filter has to be changed more than usual, it is likely that the current foam pre-cleaner has to be replaced as well. Remember to always wear gloves when handling, repairing, and operating outdoor equipment. This foam pre-cleaner is compatible with the following brands: Midwest Engine, Briggs & Stratton, Toro, and Simplicity.

This is a replacement dipstick tube seal that is designed specifically for use with select Briggs & Stratton engines on lawn and garden equipment. This seal is designed to provide a seal in the oil dipstick tube to ensure that oil stays in the crankcase and air stays out. It sits in the bottom of the fill tube and also helps hold the tube securely in place. Over time, the seal can become damaged or broken and result in oil leaks. If this happens, the seal should be replaced immediately to ensure proper engine operation. Oil leaks can lead to poor performance or even cause further damage to the engine if left unrepaired. This replacement tube seal can get equipment back in proper working order in no time. This dipstick tube seal is manufactured to specific standards by Briggs & Stratton. It is designed for use with multiple models of engines that are installed on blowers, generators, tractors, and snow blowers from Briggs & Stratton, Murray, and Toro. There are over 150 compatible units that can use this exact part. This durable seal is made of premium composite rubber materials and is sold individually. Be sure to drain the oil before replacing this part to avoid spills.

This durable plastic ratchet pawl is used on select engines that feature what is known as a Susa starter. In this configuration, the ratchet pawl will be responsible for engaging the recoil starting system. Then, the starting system will allow the engine to fire. Over time, the pawl can become worn or damaged due to regular use. If this happens, the recoil can slip and cause difficulties with starting the engine. If the engine isn’t starting or you can hear it slipping when you try to fire it up, a replacement ratchet pawl could be needed. Be sure to allow the engine to cool before replacing any parts or doing any work and always wear gloves. This replacement is a genuine OEM part that includes two ratchet pawls for various Briggs & Stratton engines on small lawn equipment. This part offers compatibility with over 150 engines from Briggs & Stratton, Toro, Lawn-Boy, and Vanguard by Briggs & Stratton.

This is a genuine replacement oil fill cap that is found on many lawn and garden engines. The oil fill cap is responsible for securing the oil dipstick and fill tube. This small plastic plug screws into the oil fill tube with plastic threads and secures the oil, keeping it from leaking and providing the appropriate engine pressure. Over time, this small plastic piece can become worn, corroded, damaged, or even lost, which will require a full replacement. Without an oil fill cap, the pressure cannot be maintained in the engine and the oil could spill out of the machine. This genuine OEM oil fill cap is manufactured by Briggs & Stratton to exact standards. It is compatible with engines and equipment from this brand, as well as those from Toro, Snapper, and Vanguard. The oil fill cap is sold as an individual part and does not include the dipstick or any other parts and accessories. It is a good idea to inspect caps and other elements when performing maintenance to ensure proper operation. When replacing the filler cap, no tools are required, but the engine should be cool before doing any kind of work.

This oil seal is a common part engineered to work in engines that power generators, vacuum cleaners, snowblowers, leaf blowers, mowers, and other small engine applications. The seal sits between the crankcase and the crankshaft. It is designed as a barrier to prevent oil leakage and to stop contaminants from leaving the crankcase. When the gasoline engine exhibits diminished power, and especially if it begins to emit oily gray or bluish smoke, there is a good chance the oil seal needs to be replaced. In order to replace the faulty seal, begin by removing the starter housing and taking off the nut that holds the starter wheel to the main shaft. The user will find the old seal on this shaft. Remove it and install the new seal, pushing it into place with the edges of a socket, then tapping it securely into place with a hammer. When choosing a replacement seal, remember to use an OEM genuine replacement part that is guaranteed to match the specs for the original part. This will ensure a quality match and long replacement life. This seal is compatible with Toro, Lawn-Boy, and Briggs & Stratton engines.

The carburetor float is housed in the carburetor and is used to help control the fuel flow. It adjusts the needle valve and ensures that the appropriate amount of fuel reaches the carburetor bowl. This helps provide the right mixture of air and gasoline for the engine to operate at optimal performance. Over time, the float can become worn or detached, or the pin could come loose. When this happens, the flow is affected, and the engine will not operate correctly. If the float isn't working correctly on a lawnmower or another small engine, it might be time for a replacement. This replacement part is a genuine OEM product designed to be used with many Briggs & Stratton engines, including lawnmowers, pressure washers, generators, and other lawn and outdoor equipment engines. It is sold as a single unit with the metal cotter pin included. There are more than 150 compatible machines that this unit will work with. If your lawnmower isn’t working as it should or if the float has come loose and can't control the flow appropriately, this OEM replacement can get things back in working order.

The carburetor has a float valve to control the flow of fuel from the tank to the reservoir. A float valve has three main components - a float, seat, and a needle. When there is adequate fuel level in the carburetor, the float will rise, prompting the needle to close against its seat and prevent overflowing. If the float valve is malfunctioning, it may overflow the carburetor. In some cases, it doesn't provide ample fuel into the carburetor. If you suspect that the needle and seat are faulty, don't waste another moment. Over time, a defective needle and seat can lead to more expensive repairs like a leaking carburetor and even an engine misfiring. For a genuine OEM replacement, get this Midwest Engine 398188 Needle & Seat Kit. Please take note that the Midwest Engine 398188 Needle & Seat Kit only comes with the needle and seat. If you also need a genuine Midwest Engine float replacement, you will need to purchase it separately.

This filter is used for lawn and garden equipment. A dirty or clogged filter could cause the engine to run poorly.

This is a foam pre-filter that is used to help prevent dust, pollen, and other debris from clogging the air filters of small engines. One of the most common problems faced by small engines is an inadequate air supply caused by air filters that have become mired with airborne debris. Cleaning or replacing filters can become a tiresome and expensive proposition. If filters are not adequately cared for, they perform poorly, waste gasoline, pollute the air, and cause internal engine damage. A good way to help an air filter do its job is by adding a foam pre-filter in the air filter compartment. Pre-filters are exposed to all the things that clog air intakes, so periodically, they also must be replaced. Foam pre-filters are designed to fit snugly inside the housing of the air filter of virtually all small engine housings. To install a pre-filter, remove the air filter housing by taking off the one screw holding it in place. Remove the air filter from the housing and place the pre-filter inside against the exterior wall of the housing with the arrows pointing up. Reinstall the air filter. The paper of the filter should fit perfectly against the labeled side of the pre-filter. Now simply reattach the air filter housing. Genuine Midwest Engine makes this OEM replacement part, and it is sold separately.

This is an OEM replacement part for the recoil pulley and spring assembly, also called the rewind pulley and spring. The recoil starter, which is operated by a rope, will engage the drive cup on the flywheel, which will start the engine when it is pulled. These are commonly found on lawnmowers and similar outdoor equipment. If the rewind begins to bind when pulling the rope, or if it does not rewind easily, it could indicate that a replacement is needed. In addition, if the plastic on the old pulley is worn and cracked, it is a good idea to replace it before it fails entirely. This OEM assembly comes from the manufacturer and includes the pulley and the spring. The pulley is made from plastic, and the spring is metal. The part can be used for a range of machines and brands. The pulley and spring assembly are compatible with lawnmowers, tillers, and other small engines from brands like Craftsman, Briggs & Stratton, Snapper, Lawn-Boy, Toro, and Cub Cadet.
