MTD 951-15236 Replacement: Compare 7 Options

How to find your model number

Check your model number before you buy a replacement for the 951-15236. Engine parts are matched by the engine model, not the mower model.

• Briggs & Stratton engines: the model, type and code numbers are usually stamped on the engine shroud or on a sticker on the blower housing.
• Kohler engines: a label with the model, specification and serial numbers is usually on the blower housing.
• Honda engines: the engine type (for example GCV160) is usually cast or printed on the engine block, with the serial number nearby.

Spring maintenance

Fuel left in the engine over winter can gum up the carburetor. Start the season with fresh fuel; if the engine still surges or will not idle, the carburetor may need cleaning or replacing.

Maker's part vs aftermarket: the 951-15236

We did not find MTD's own 951-15236 on Amazon. 7 brands sell a carburetor listed as its replacement, including AUTOKAY, BioLion, Hipa, laffoonparts.

• Maker's own part: made and sold by the equipment or engine maker (for example John Deere, MTD or Briggs & Stratton). Usually the highest price.
• Aftermarket parts: made by other companies to the same size and fit. Usually cheaper; materials and build quality vary by brand.
• Before you buy: find your equipment's model number (see How to find your model number, above), compare the size of your old part, and confirm the fit on the product page.
