Description

This authentic OEM replacement carburetor gasket is compatible with a variety of different lawn tractors and mowers. Like any gasket, this part acts as a seal to keep fuel and air inside the carburetor. This is incredibly important because the carburetor is responsible for maintaining a balance of oxygen and fuel. If either fuel or air escape from the carburetor, the engine will not create the right amount of combustion and will not start and run properly. Heat and pressure are the most common reasons why gaskets break down. As the engine heats up, this gasket absorbs that heat and becomes more malleable. Damaged carburetor gaskets can cause the carburetor to idle, vibrate, backfire, or stall out. Changing out a carburetor gasket requires gaining access to the interior of the carburetor. Whether or not this is a difficult job will depend on the appliance is that needs repairing. This high-quality replacement part will fit Tecumseh, MTD, and Toro appliances and is sourced from its original manufacturer. This replacement carburetor gasket does not ship with any additional hardware.
