The 795629 is the air cleaner gasket for small engine lawn mowers. A fibrous sheet with a large center opening, four bolt holes and two small openings, fitted between the air filter housing and the carburetor, keeping unfiltered air out of the seal so the mixture does not run rich. Cross referenced to 272653 and 485-023; numbers such as 272653S and 4156 are commonly listed for the same gasket, so compare the marking on your old one, or send a photo when unsure. Replace it when the old gasket tears, holds dents, hardens and crumbles, or when the mower starts hard, smokes or idles roughly. Clean both sealing faces, lay the gasket flat, and tighten the bolts in a cross pattern.

 FAQ 

Q1: What is the 795629 gasket?

The air cleaner gasket that seals the air filter housing to the carburetor on a small engine lawn mower, cross referenced to 272653 and 485-023.

Q2: What happens if the seal is not right?

Unfiltered air sneaks past the gap, the mixture runs rich, and starting, smoke and idle all suffer. A torn, misshapen or brittle gasket is the usual cause.

Q3: Will it fit my old gasket number?

Compare the hole pattern and the center opening against your old gasket. Numbers such as 272653S and 4156 are often listed for the same gasket but are not guaranteed to match, so send a photo before ordering.
