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 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.
The pawl friction plate on lawn and garden engines is an essential part of the starter assembly that is needed to crank start the machine. It provides power to the starter cup.

Keep in mind that this only includes the pawl friction plate. It does not contain the screw or spring, and these will need to be purchased separately.
A carburetor on a lawn or garden appliance often has a float-feed chamber or bowl mounted on one side. This is a miniature fuel tank that takes a trickle feed from the main fuel supply. A carburetor is unable to use fuel that is under pressure, so the float chamber keeps everything at atmospheric pressure. When any sort of dirt or debris enters the fuel and air passages, it can cause an array of issues. The debris may enter due to shrinkage of O-rings and gaskets, and that is why a replacement gasket is essential. A carburetor screwdriver is essential when making this repair. Replacing it involves removing several pieces of the carburetor assembly, including a float assembly, inlet needle valve, and the old fuel bowl gasket itself. This authentic replacement carburetor bowl gasket will fit a small engine carburetor bowl on wood chippers, leaf blowers, pressure washers, tillers, snowblowers, lawnmowers, and small engines. It is compatible with Briggs & Stratton, Toro, Simplicity, Lawn-Boy, Cub Cadet, and Snapper, among others.
This OEM replacement part is a crankcase gasket for lawnmowers. The crankcase gasket is used to seal the two halves of the crankcase. If the crankcase gasket is no longer sealing properly, it might need to be replaced. Luckily, this is a relatively simple repair. Before beginning, make sure the engine has cooled. Once cooled, locate the old crankcase gasket. Tilt the mower on its side. Once tilted, remove the blade of the mower. After removed, clean any dirt that might be on the crankshaft. Drill a small hole into the old seal and be careful not to damage the crankshaft. Insert a screw into the drilled hole and use it to pry off the old crank gasket seal. Once removed, install the new crankcase gasket. Reinstall the blade, and tilt the mower back to its upright position.This genuine replacement part is sold individually and is compatible with MTD brand lawnmowers.
