Genuine manufacturer approved carburetor needle valve for lawn and garden equipment engines. This item includes the seat. The needle valve opens and closes to control the flow of fuel into the carburetor. Make sure to disconnect the spark plug wire and drain all gasoline from the carburetor and fuel tank before starting a repair.
