Kohler 1204109-s Air Cleaner Base Gasket

Product Description

The KOHLER 1204109-s is an OEM replacement air cleaner base gasket designed to seal the interface between the air cleaner assembly and the engine base on Kohler small engines. This gasket prevents unfiltered air from bypassing the air cleaner element and entering the intake, protecting the engine from premature wear. It is a direct-fit component used in routine maintenance and air cleaner service on Kohler-powered lawn and garden equipment. Engine service technicians and small engine mechanics install this part as part of air filter housing removal, cleaning, or replacement procedures.

This gasket is suited for use on Kohler small engines found in residential and light commercial lawn and garden applications, including walk-behind mowers, riding mowers, and other outdoor power equipment powered by Kohler engines. It is intended as an OEM-specification replacement to restore a proper air-tight seal at the air cleaner base whenever the air cleaner housing is serviced or the original gasket shows signs of deterioration or compression set.

Inspect the mating surfaces on the engine base and air cleaner housing for debris or damage before installing the new gasket.
