Product Information
Full details
This genuine GGP carburettor gasket is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professionals maintaining Mountfield and Stiga power equipment. By providing an airtight seal between the carburettor and the intake manifold, this component is essential for preventing air leaks that cause erratic engine idling or poor performance. While it is a direct manufacturer replacement, it requires precision handling during installation to ensure the seal seats correctly without tearing.

FAQs
Is this gasket compatible with all Mountfield mowers?
No, it is specific to models that require part number 1188031710. Always check your engine's parts manual.
Do I need to apply grease to the gasket during installation?
Generally, these gaskets are designed to be installed dry. Adding grease is unnecessary and may cause the gasket to slip out of place.
How often should the carburettor gasket be replaced?
It should be replaced whenever the carburettor is removed for maintenance or if signs of engine surging suggest an air leak.
Can I reuse the old gasket if it looks intact?
It is highly recommended to use a new gasket whenever the carburettor is removed, as the material compresses to form a seal and loses its effectiveness once disturbed.
Where can I find my engine model number?
The model number is typically printed on a sticker on the engine deck or the engine cowling near the starter cord.
Troubleshooting
Engine still running erratically after replacement
Check that the mounting bolts are tightened to the correct specification and verify there are no cracks in the carburettor body itself.
Fuel leaking from the mounting area
Ensure the mating surfaces were cleaned of all old gasket material; a small piece of old residue can prevent a proper seal.
Pros and Cons

- Restores proper engine vacuum and idle stability

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install this gasket, ensure the engine is completely cool and the fuel supply is shut off. Remove the air filter housing and the carburettor mounting bolts to gain access to the old gasket. Thoroughly clean the mounting surfaces on both the carburettor and the engine block using a non-abrasive scraper, ensuring no old material debris remains.
Place the 1188031710 gasket onto the studs, ensuring the bolt holes align perfectly. Do not use liquid sealants unless specifically recommended by your service manual, as excess material can clog fuel passages. Once replaced, torque the mounting bolts evenly to prevent warping the carburettor body. Regular inspections during annual maintenance will help you identify signs of drying or cracking before they lead to total engine failure.
