Description

This is a replacement carburetor gasket. The gasket plays an important role in the carburetor. It helps to ensure that there is no additional air getting into the carburetor. It also ensures no dirt or other debris makes it into the carburetor. If the gasket is not working properly or has been damaged, air and other elements that get into the carburetor could cause the engine to run rough. It could also make it more difficult to start the engine.Over time, the carburetor gasket will wear down and will need to be replaced. Gaskets will dry out and crack the longer they've been used. There is also the possibility that the gasket has not been seated properly, which would require repair. Whenever owners are servicing the carburetor, they should make it a point to replace the gaskets, even if they appear to be in serviceable condition.This gasket is an OEM replacement part sourced directly from the manufacturer. It will work for certain models of carburetors from Tecumseh and Craftsman. Each of the gaskets is sold individually.
