My surprisingly well functioning aftermarket carburetor features no problematic adjustable main jet like the Nikki carburetor it replaced

Syconeer 594603 Carburetor for Riding Lawn Mower Tractor Carb Fits Nikki Replace OE 594603 591734 796110 844717 This $17 Syconeer aftermarket carburetor featured by Amazon,has no main fuel jet. However after trying 4 other carburetors this model idles perfectly, runs well under full load starts...

Additionally, is there a Walbro carburetor which may be substituted for the Briggs 581734?

I actually discovered the 581734 Briggs carburetor locally for $126 Surprisingly, they are a bit cloudy on a warranty, reluctantly giving a meager six month guarantee. In contrast the $13 Chinese knockoff grants a 1 year warranty. LOL

The Briggs OEM carburetor sells for a mere $170. The Chinese knockoffs are marketed for $15-$25. Unfortunately, barring obtaining a used OEM carburetor, no middle ground exists.

Do you or anyone out there have a suggestion for a reliable, durable, quality aftermarket carburetor? The OEM Briggs replacement AUC 11044 has a non fitting solenoid connector.

Additionally, I have been gauging the RPM by ear since I have no RPM measuring device. However after 40 years of working on small engines a racing engine appears obvious.I will try bending that spring tang for low RPM adjustment.Thanks

The manual enumerates that the carburetor is non adjustable. However the Nikki carburetor has a main jet plus low speed idle screw. The Manuel mentions a carburetor computerized setting. Please advise.

I have a 2009 LA 105 John Deere Riding Mower Briggs Model 31P677 Type 0140B1 with a 19.5 HP engine The engine runs decently under load at 3/4 to full throttle. However, in no load neutral or low speed the RPMs are too high I attempted multiple times to adjust the idle screw with no improvement...
