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.
Usually ships within 4 - 14 days
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.
When a starter rope is pulled, it will uncoil and provide tension to the spring and then engage the starter clutch, which turns the crankshaft to crank the engine. The starter clutch could have problems due to natural wear. It could also be damaged due to an incident with the machine. Corrosion could also be a factor since it is made from metal. When there are issues with the starter clutch, it will be difficult to get the engine started. The best course of action is for the operator to replace the clutch. This is a genuine OEM replacement starter clutch that is sold individually. The part can be used for many types of equipment including lawn mowers, snowblowers, tillers, pressure washers, leaf blowers, edgers, wood chippers, generators, and other small engines. Compatible brands include Craftsman, Toro, Cub Cadet, Lawn-Boy Simplicity, MTD, Murray, and Briggs & Stratton. Operators should ensure they are getting the correct starter clutch as a replacement.
This rewind spring, also known as the recoil spring, is an essential part in a small engine.

It is suited to brands like Toro, Cub Cadet, Briggs & Stratton, Lawn Boy, MTD, and others. The primary component is the spring, which is found inside of a metal housing.

This OEM starter grip is a replacement for select Briggs & Stratton engines. The starter rope grip provides the handle that is used to pull the starter rope. When it is pulled, the starter recoil spring engages the flywheel puller, which then causes the flywheel to rotate and starts the rotation of the blade as the engine fires. The starter rope grip is made of durable plastic but it can become damaged or cracked over time. If it is broken, the rope will be unable to be pulled to engage the engine until the part is replaced. This is a genuine starter grip designed to work with a variety of lawn and garden equipment that features a Briggs & Stratton engine with a pull-start. The starter grip is sold in two pieces with the grip and a cap that snaps on once the rope has been tied inside of the handle to secure it in place. The unit is sold individually. This item does not include the rope or any additional parts.
The stop wire is a safety cable device offered on many types of lawn and garden equipment. It is pressed near the upper handle of a device to start it, which lets the blades spin and creates forward motion on equipment that is self-propelled. A stop wire can stretch out over time and will need to be replaced to ensure total safety. If the blade brake control is released and the blades continue to spin for more than a couple of seconds, the wire needs to be replaced.Take the equipment and put it on a flat surface before taking the metal on the stop cable and moving it out of the mower handle. Squeeze the center tabs of the wire with needle-nose pliers and pull the cable end through the bracket. Pull the other end out and then replace it with a new component.This is an authentic OEM replacement part for use with garden equipment engines.
