Hi, Thank you VERY VERY much!!!

Hi, Looking to put together this Engine I was given but missing a few things. Having trouble inding these bolts from usual sources, do not even see them on Schematics??? Where do you get missing Engine Bolts???

Hi, That is what I did with the 3.5 Kool Bore as far as oil and a clean up and it runs now like a Sewing Machine! It was also a give me sitting in the Junk Pile! Put it on a McLaws Edger Frame, and use it every week as I live in Florida, and Yard Work is all year long.

Hi, Thank you, I feel better now about not wanting to dive in and do a full rebuild. I can pull the Head and check the Cylinder Walls, clean the top of the Piston and Valves if needed... Will give me an idea anyway on condition. Could lap valves while there and check/set Lash? Also...

Hi, Was given a L-Head Model 28 1997 12.5 Power Built Briggs Engine. I have no idea on wear or hours used. Was told engine ran when given to last Owner. Wondering about best way to easily tell without running Engine... On how far to go with the clean up or rebuild. Engine has an...

Hi, Well, everybody got to express their views, and have some fun... I admittedly learned more about Small Engine Carbs... That's what Forums are for, ALL good to me! Thanks!

Hi, Thanks for that Forest!!!

Hi, Well...Belief is not the question... From what I can find out they quit making that Walbro LMT and then just used the same number to tag the Nikki with. That looks good on paper and the parts computer down at the shop, but... Does not give the info to find an exact Walbro carb...

Hi, That is not the original carb, that's a Nikki Carb and the original was a Walbro LMT but never found which exact one (no numbers!) Maybe try that 4 barrel Holly! (good rep!) Thanks!

Hi, Soooo.....What was the original Carb put on this Engine out of the Factory??? Engine Model, Type, and Code has been provided! Thank you!

Hi, Thanks, that Flo-Jet (2 piece) is what I have on my 9HP Power Built! I think I can find a Walbro.

Hi, To be honest this whole project is probably not needed, but as I get older, electric start would be a good thing and... The Engine on the Snapper now is a 9HP and the 12.5 would be welcome. I would have to add a Battery and Solenoid, along with a new Switch but no problem. Thanks...

Hi, Thanks, made a call to a Shop in the next town... Told the Owner I was looking for used B&S Engine Parts... He said I could run by and look in the pile, so will see what I can find, I like that! Might have found another good place to scrounge! Rather buy a Walbro and rebuild it...

Hi, Saw this, using a Chinese Knock off!

Hi, Thank you very much, I hope to stay away from the Nikki Carbs altogether by going with a used Walbro. They do seem to be available, if looked for. Nice link on the different Carbs, still amazed, I can't find exactly what model Carb this Engine had when it left Briggs?

Hi, Thanks, I can believe it... A LOT of things screwed up these days, but... Better not go there, maybe an actual Owner, of this Engine will chime in with an actual, LMT- number.

Hi, Thanks, looks like that is my best bet, unless, I get more info, from say an actual Owner that can tell me more. Seems it should work with the Linkage. "Funny", that I can't find the EXACT info I need, but no one seems surprised! Does not say much about B&S's, organization even...

Hi, Well, made some phone calls and came up with 498027 which is the old replaced Carb Part Number. That led me to a Walbro LMT 5-4993??? Not completely sure, but all I can come up with?

Hi, Thank you very much, if anyone has info on the original Walbro LMT Model number... I would be happy to learn it, sort of surprised it is this hard to find what Carb came on this Engine in 1997????

Hi, Well, just got off the phone with Briggs and all they could give me for an ID number was the new number which is for a Nikki Carb? I know the Walbro was a LMT but not what the exact number was. All info on this engine is, Model 288707 Type 0170-01 Code 970307ZB Thanks everyone!!!

Hi, Thanks, I'm going to call Briggs and find out the exact model Carb I need and the exact Starter. Both were missing on this Engine. It is electric start only.

Hi, Was gifted a 1997 Model 28 12.5 HP Power Built Engine with an iron sleeve. Thinking of rebuilding it for my Snapper which has a 9 HP on it now. The 12.5 came without the original carb though. Wondering where to find a real Walbro or if it is even possible???

Hi, Took a pic of the McLane Edger I put together. Bought the used Edger for $25 and it came with a nice old 3.5HP Briggs I/C Engine. The Seller told me the Fuel tank was bad but thought I could make it work...I was wrong, Tank was trashed. Ok, I'll find a tank but wanted the Edger...

Hi, If you can find a small Mom and Pop Lawnmower Repair Shop, they usually have pretty good junkpiles you can go through. What is happening now it seems, is the Shops do not want to rebuild Carbs and if the Owner won't pay for an OEM Carb... The shop will sell them a new Mower or...

Hi, Geez, I should do a thread on my junkyard McLane Edger I built. Bought it for $25 on FB and then another $25 in parts and have a $600 Edger.

Hi, Strong spark is next. Might check the gap at the coil and flywheel.

Hi, Get a small wire and run it up and clear your main jet in the carb and i bet it runs!

Hi, Thanks, I took your advice and scrubbed it with a toothbrush and Carb Cleaner till I could see a hole. Then took my smallest torch tip cleaner and made sure it was clear. Carb is in pretty bad shape but hoping to save it! Thanks again!

Hi, I have a Briggs Model I/C 92202-1242E1-971003FA Looking at the Main FIXED Jet and is totally blocked. Wondering if I can save it but can not find the hole dia. I'm assuming there is a numbered drill size to fit it? Does anyone know what the correct hole size is? I do not see...

Hi, Well...Called a Dude I know that owns a Lawn Mower Shop and asked about a used Tank in the Junk Pile. He's busy of course so went over and found a B&S Model 91212, Type 1319 E1. It was on an MTD Edger missing 2 wheels, and looked pretty good, asked what he wanted and he said, take...

Hi, That's a shame, but business, I guess!

Hi, I don't see anything available new? How are you guys keeping these older motors going as far as parts?

Hi, Thanks, It is a 2 quart. Got a strong light and can see where it broke off! Looking for a local used part now!

Hi, Thanks! Model 92202 Type 1242 E1 Code 971003FA

Hi, Trying to get a 3.5 HP up and running on a Edger. Does this tank have a inside compartment for the short pick up to pull from for the pulsa jet carb???

Hi, Thank you VERY much!!!

Hi, Just bought a McLane Edger, With an I/C Briggs Engine. No HP rating, wonder if someone could break down these numbers with info they contain??? Model-92202 Type-1242E1 Code- 971003FA

Hi, Can someone tell me about McLane Edgers???

Hi, You mean this? Just Google "Briggs and Stratton Throttle Cable Clamp"... Then go to "Images" and look for what might work...

Hi, Well, guess I should say, bought a Snapper RER Model M, Series 19, 2003 Mower, with a B&S Power Built 9 HP Motor. Actually wanted a bigger engine, but seems the 9HP is big enough and runs like a watch, no complaints. If the Engine goes will just put a bigger one on but cutting grass...

Hi, If no spark pulling the cord (missed that!) then spark plug, coil, or timing? If she hit something, flywheel key could be sheared and timing off? Just looking for things that would cause a no spark condition. Of course if there is no spark with cord then Starter system could be fine...

Hi, Have you taken a VOM Meter and checked the key switch?

Hi, Well had a pleasant surprise today... Finally found a Tag under the seat on the round bar. Has model and ser. #'s so should be all I need. It is an "M" Model series 19 and was built in 2003. That model did come with a 9HP B&S Engine. Thanks again for the help!

Hi, I use 10W-30 as I live in Florida, and it is suppose to work better in hotter Climes?

Hi, Well, I found the problem. It was the pulley brake so all good and finished the Lawn. Also found a tag with the Mower model and ser.#!

Hi, Have a Snapper RER M Series, and while mowing today, blade stopped jumped out of lock and I brought it in to look at it. I did not hit anything that I know of but bought the Mower used, so no History knowledge. Set the Mower up and grabbed the blade and it is VERY hard to turn takes...

Hi, Sorry, I flipped your switch obviously, but from this list, only one actually comes close from that time. https://www.tractordata.com/lawn-tractors/tractor-brands/snapper/snapper-lawn-tractors-year-sorted.html

Hi, Thanks that looks like it and that model is listed with an 8 HP instead of a 9, but... They may have gone with a 9 at the later part of build of the Model.
