Engine Metering Lever Spring 98-387-7

This metering lever spring is an authentic manufacturer replacement part used in outdoor power equipment carburetors. It is a coiled spring that applies tension to the metering lever in order to control its position and movement. Over time the spring can rust, become weak, or break, causing the lever to malfunction, and resulting in rough idling, low power output, and stalling. Disassemble the carburetor to access and remove the spring. Undo the mounting screw and carefully detach the old spring from the metering lever. Place the new spring in the proper position and reinstall the screw to hold it in place. Reassemble the carburetor in reverse order to complete the repair.
