Engine Parts Note: The following parts are those commonly found on the B&S engines of many vintage Gilsons. While many parts remained consistent there can be variations especially at the out years. It is suggested that you download a PDF of your engine's breakdown and confirm all part numbers. Note that some numbers in the PDF document have changed over the years but they should be traceable to the items you order. You will see that many of these suggested parts reference the older numbers they replace. If you have a part number or don't find what you need below enter the part number or keyword here.

| This is used on all 6-8 HP B&S engines where a fuel line feeds the carburetor. It replaces B&S 298090 and other numbers. Original filters may be of a bullet shape, this is a drop-in replacement. If you have an old bowl type filter with a damaged screen you can use one of these in the line for extra protection. You can select the filter or the filter with a pair of new clamps. | |||

| This kit includes the valve and clamps to add an inline fuel shut-off to engines with 1/4 inch fuel line. This includes 6, 7 and 8 HP Briggs & Stratton engines. It can be installed with the fuel line kit found above. A fuel line shut-off can be desirable if you are concerned about carburetor fuel weeping. On units with electric start the factory valve is often inaccessible and certainly is not mitten friendly. This valve can be added for convenience. | |||

The Champion CJ-8 is a compact version of the J8 plug. This stout plug is the best fit for the insullating boot. Since the spark plug sits on top of your engine the short insulator reduces the chance of breakage. This was the standard OEM spark-plug in your engine.

IGNITION POINT SET These are the conventional points found on most pre-1981 engines. If your engine is 1966 or older be sure to consult a B&S parts breakdown since yours may be different. Flywheel tools, see below are required to do this job properly. |
Mega-Fire Ignition Module This kit allows you to upgrade your pre 1981 engine that does not have the Magentron (solid state) ignition. The change to maintenance free is nice but the beauty for the do-it-yourself mechanic is that you need not remove the flywheel to install this system. Without the need for expensive flywheel tools an ignition repair is now easy for any capable shade tree mechanic. |

CLUTCH TOOL Combined with your torque wrench and engine manual specifications you can get your clutch off and on easily and torqued so the safety key functions properly.
Add the following tools for a 1st class job: |
STA-BIL ETHANOL TREATMENT. Fuel Stabilizer, 10 ounce Adding stabilizer to your fuel keeps gasoline fresh and retards the formation of damaging deposits in your fuel system. This is much more important for a single cylinder engine than a regularly used automobile. This special Ethanol formula helps manage the effects of ethanol blend fuels. This will enhance perormance and help prevent costly fuel system damage. Add to your storage can before heading to the filling station and it will come home well mixed. I use STA-BIL in all of my outdoor power equipment all of the time. That way I never need to worry about what is in a machine when storage time comes. STA-BIL ETHANOL TREATMENT. Fuel Stabilizer, 4 ounce |

VALVE SPRING COMPRESSOR This tool is worth the price even if you only use it once in your lifetime. Working to compress valve springs and set the clips using pliers, screwdrivers and wedges is fools errand. With this tool it becomes an easy task. If you have one of the engines from the 1960s with the split cones as part of the exhaust valve retainer this tool is an absolute "must have". |
