I have this billy goat with a 5.5HP quantum briggs and stratton engine. I need to replace the carb but cant figure out what exact carb i should get? cant make out an exact engine model. Any advice?

The quantum should have a metal flap on the side of the blower housing the extends over the muffler. The engine model, type, code should be stamped into it and viewable from above,

Already have done that, spring configuration is different based on the equipment it’s mounted on. If one were the one who took it apart one would know if there was something missing and how it was configused. Thanks for your help

If you just take the time and provide us with the engine and type along the date code we might be to find the info. This because Billy Goat doesn't provide us with the engine info.
As IL said it should be on a tag over the muffler though it might be partially hide by a plastic shroud cover. Otherwise you are just grasping at straws that are just out of reach.

If you find a video with your engine you are golden. Or look for shiny spots where springs could of resided. Like there is black paint missing from one small spec. Maybe a spring could of went there. Find the throttle plate. Move it with your finger. Listen for the revs to go up and down. A spring will go there to another point. You have to do some kind of CSI investigation on your own. Not just sit back and ask for help.
Why don't you take a picture of your carb linkage and post it up here? We could all guess at it if you are not going to provide engine numbers. Little Trivia Tuesday.
I will narrow the list down for you. Both the 487170 and the 698444 supercede to the 799868 carb so if you have a primer carb then that is the current part number for all date codes. The 498964 and the 497353 are both obsolete. So if you have a choke carb then not much recourse.

Slight correction 487170 is not a valid number> Typo 498170 valid number as said supersedes.
Tnx IL on the NLA my current price file supplier is no longer listing the supersedes or NLA items. I will flag both PN as -NOS items.
I would had checked but I had to run on a TO35 call to change fuel bowl and filter. Customer shattered the old part and trying to get it of with 3/4" wrench when it takes a 18mm.
