Wonderful to find parts for ages-old Briggs & Stratton engines
Old gasket was disintegrating, dropping fragments in the gas bowl and thus clogging needle valve. A small challenge to find the right replacement part number, but new part went on perfectly.

Great Service
Do not have it installed yet, but the service was outstanding. Would do business again with this company. Do you have a manual on how to put this shredder back together?
