This is an intake manifold gasket used primarily in lawnmowers and wood chippers with small engines. The intake manifold gasket sits between the carburetor and the intake manifold. It offers an air-tight seal that ensures the carburetor runs at peak performance levels. The gasket is made from compound material and is durable, but through time and use, the part can wear and break down, which necessitates replacement.Some symptoms of a worn-out intake manifold gasket are engine misfiring, decrease engine power, leaks, and engine overheating. In some cases, the gasket will also break and need to be replaced before the lawn equipment is used. Installing a new intake gasket requires a wrench. Make sure the equipment is turned off and placed on a sturdy surface. Remove the spark plug wire before taking off the carburetor. Next, the manifold gasket can be removed before placing a new component and reassembling additional parts.This intake manifold gasket is a genuine OEM replacement part that is sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is sold as an individual part. The gasket can be used with lawnmowers and wood chippers manufactured by Craftsman, Lawn-Boy, MTD, Tecumseh, and Toro.
