Briggs Stratton 694040 Camshaft

Product Description

The BRIGGS STRATTON 694040 is a replacement camshaft designed for use in small gasoline engines commonly found in outdoor power equipment. The camshaft controls the opening and closing of the intake and exhaust valves in sync with the piston's movement, making it a critical component of the engine's valve train. A worn or damaged camshaft can cause loss of compression, misfiring, or complete engine failure. This part is installed by small engine technicians and experienced equipment mechanics during engine rebuilds or valve train servicing.

The 694040 camshaft is suited for use in lawn and garden equipment powered by Briggs and Stratton small engines. Typical applications include walk-behind lawn mowers, riding mowers, and similar outdoor power units. It is intended as a direct OEM-style replacement, restoring proper valve timing and engine performance after wear or damage to the original camshaft.

Key Features

• OEM-replacement camshaft engineered to restore correct valve timing

Installation Notes

Camshaft replacement should be performed by a qualified small engine technician. Before beginning any disassembly, disconnect the spark plug wire and drain all fuel and oil from the engine. Proper valve timing alignment is essential during reassembly — confirm timing marks on the camshaft and crankshaft gears are correctly indexed before closing the engine. Refer to the applicable Briggs and Stratton engine service manual for the correct disassembly and reassembly procedure.
