The Wacker Neuson Valve Tappet is a genuine OEM component designed for the PTS4V and PTS4V(I) series trash pumps and the GPS9700 series portable generators. As a genuine Wacker Neuson part, it is manufactured to the exact tolerances required for proper valve train operation in the engines powering these machines. This tappet fits across multiple PTS4V configurations, including the standard and EPA-compliant variants, as well as the GPS9700 generator lineup. Sourcing a verified OEM part like the ensures the valve train functions as intended and protects the long-term health of the engine.
Key Features
- OEM Hardness and Surface Finish — Manufactured to the exact metallurgical spec required for consistent contact with the camshaft lobe, preventing accelerated lobe and tappet wear.
- Drop-In Engine Replacement — Seats directly into the original tappet bore with no machining or adjustment to the bore required, restoring the correct valve lift profile.
- Broad Fitment Across Two Equipment Families — Confirmed fit for PTS4V and PTS4V(I) trash pumps and the GPS9700 portable generator series, covering both standard and EPA-compliant engine builds.
- Sustained Valve Timing Accuracy — A correctly functioning tappet maintains consistent valve lift and timing; a worn tappet causes erratic valve operation, loss of compression, and hard starting.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson Part — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, carrying the full part number 5200001348 for straightforward verification against your machine's parts manual.
A valve tappet — also called a cam follower — sits between the camshaft lobe and the valve stem or pushrod inside a four-stroke engine. As the camshaft rotates, the tappet transfers the lobe's motion to open and close the intake and exhaust valves at precisely the right moment in the combustion cycle. When a tappet wears flat, develops pitting, or loses its specified surface hardness, valve timing becomes inconsistent, leading to rough running, loss of power, increased fuel consumption, and eventual engine damage if left uncorrected.
