Briggs & Stratton Camshaft – 84005207

Product Details & Features

Keep your Briggs & Stratton small engine running smoothly and efficiently with this genuine camshaft (Part 84005207) — a vital internal engine component that controls valve timing and helps ensure optimal combustion performance. 

The 84005207 camshaft is an OEM-specified replacement part designed to meet Briggs & Stratton’s exact standards for fit and function. It regulates the timing of the intake and exhaust valves by converting rotational motion from the crankshaft into precise valve movement. Proper valve timing is essential for efficient combustion, steady idling, reliable power delivery, and reduced engine wear. 

This camshaft often includes associated components such as tappets and compression release features in some assemblies, helping maintain correct engine operation in a wide range of Briggs & Stratton L-head and overhead-valve (OHV) engines. 

Key Features:

• Genuine Briggs & Stratton Part: Engineered to OEM specifications for precise fit and long-lasting durability. 

• Valve Timing Control: Converts crankshaft motion into controlled valve opening and closing, essential for combustion efficiency and smooth engine operation. 

• Durable Construction: Made from high-quality metal designed to withstand engine heat, friction and stress over many hours of use. 

• Direct Replacement: Replaces older part numbers including 793880, 496884 and others for compatible engine models — check your engine’s model/type/code for exact fit. 

• Wide Compatibility: Used on selected Briggs & Stratton vertical shaft engines across various series and model codes that require precise valve timing components. 

Why It Matters:
The camshaft is a critical engine component — if it wears or fails, valve timing can be disrupted, leading to poor starting, rough idle, loss of power or inefficient fuel use. Installing this genuine 84005207 camshaft helps restore correct timing and improves overall engine performance, reliability and longevity.
