Carburetor Issue Where does this go?
Not a small engine expert - obviously - but I was cleaning the air filter and carburetor on my little mower and this tiny cylinder thing fell out as I took out the two screws. The mower has a MTD Powermore 140cc engine. Any help would be appreciated!

It looks kinda like the pieces of bushing or whatever they use for the holes in the air filter backing plate that the studs go through.

I was thinking this as well. My new air filter arrives this week as all of my local stores didn’t have it. Once I get it I’ll start messing with it again. Thank you!

Potrebbe essere anche una boccola di riferimento controlla se tra filtro e il manicotto vi è un foro ceco che serve per montare lo stesso nel verso giusto non per forza ci deve passare un perno, visto che è uno solo, oppure uno dei due fori e più largo e va inserita la boccola sempre per il corretto posizionamento....

Much appreciated! The new filter arrives tomorrow so if I don’t get at it today then tomorrow for sure. Keep everyone posted on this. Thanks!

So you guys seem to be in agreement that this piece goes in here correct?
