Briggs & Stratton Float Bowl Gasket - 281165S

Product Details & Features

Briggs & Stratton Float Bowl Gasket 281165S is a genuine Briggs & Stratton carburettor float bowl gasket designed to provide a reliable seal between the carburettor body and its float bowl on compatible small engines.

This precision‑made gasket ensures your engine’s fuel system remains properly sealed to prevent leaks and maintain consistent fuel delivery — a key factor for smooth running, efficient combustion and reliable starts. 

The Briggs & Stratton 281165S float bowl gasket is manufactured to strict OEM standards for a perfect fit and exceptional durability. It seals the joint between the bottom of the carburettor (float bowl) and the carb body, preventing petrol from seeping out and helping maintain correct fuel levels in the bowl. This is especially important during normal operation and engine vibration, where even small leaks can affect performance. 

Key Features:

• Genuine OEM Part: Engineered by Briggs & Stratton for exact fit and dependable performance on specified engines. 

• Fuel Leak Protection: Creates a tight, fuel‑resistant seal at the carburettor float bowl to help prevent fuel leakage and maintain proper carburettor function. 

• Durable Construction: Made from materials that withstand fuel exposure and engine operating conditions. 

• Direct Replacement: Designed to replace original part 281165 and fit a variety of Briggs & Stratton carburettor applications — ideal when servicing or rebuilding the carburettor. 

• Simple Installation: Fits cleanly between the float bowl and carburettor without modification — great for DIY maintenance or professional repairs. 

Why It Matters:
A worn or damaged float bowl gasket can cause fuel leaks, poor idling, flooding or inefficient running due to incorrect fuel levels in the carburettor. Replacing the gasket with this genuine 281165S part helps restore the carburettor’s integrity, preserve fuel efficiency and contribute to reliable engine performance. 

Ideal for routine maintenance, carburettor servicing or rebuilds on small Briggs & Stratton engines used in lawnmowers, garden machinery and other outdoor equipment.
