This is an authentic manufacturer sourced replacement part designed for use with a variety of lawn and garden equipment. This carburetor intake gasket which provides an air tight seal for the carburetor. Over time gaskets tend to deteriorate and would need to be replaced. It is made out of compound material and it is sold individually. You would need a screwdriver to replace this item.
I soaked the carb in cleaner, ringed it off and blew out the ports and installed the new parts. The diaphragm was the main culprit but a new spark plug helped too.

Muffler installation:
1. Flatten retaining tabs with a cold chisel or screwdriver and unbolt old muffler.
Note: In my case one of the bolts snapped off in the block so that was another can of worms, I filed the bolt flat as best that I could, center punched it (emphasis on center!) and drilled for an easy-out. Easy-outs didn\'t work, too much outward force so I drilled a little bigger and tapped it out. Use the proper size drill bits and make sure drilling is straight with the block!
2. Install new muffler and gasket then curl the retaining tabs to secure the bolt heads.
