This genuine OEM sourced replacement part is designed for use with lawn and garden equipment engines. The purpose of a carburetor is to mix air and gas before the fuel mix goes to the engine.
If the engine won't start and the tank is full of fresh fuel, test the carburetor by removing the air filter and pouring about a teaspoon of fuel into the carburetor. Pull the starter rope. If the engine starts and then quickly dies, the carburetor is likely the problem. This assembly includes a metal body carburetor and two (2) composite material gaskets.
When replacing carburetor it is advised that you also replace carburetor gaskets to ensure proper air tight seal for optimum performance. You will need a screwdriver to perform this repair.
