Briggs and Stratton carb problem

[Ifixdit]

Have you checked the condition of the air cleaner gasket? If the gasket doesn't seal properly you won't get any fuel draw at all. I've fixed too many mowers to count just by replacing this simple gasket. It's part # 163 on the parts list for your engine. Good luck

Does your needle have a metal tip or a rubber tip?

Thanks for reply gasket is brand new thought
Taxidemist thanks to you to- needle has metal tip it and the seat are also brand new new.
Reddraggon- I will taking pictures of carb shortly and posting with carb numbers. as far as the confusion if i hold the carb bowl up and blow through inlet I have air if I turn right side up(As would be om mower and blow no air is this right?:confused2:

...if i hold the carb bowl up and blow through inlet I have air if I turn right side up(As would be om mower and blow no air is this right?:confused2:

That sounds backwards...with the bowl empty and held right side up, (as it is when mounted), the float is down and air should flow through the needle & seat... :smile:KennyV

 

[reddragon]

no...thats backwards...if the carb is upside down...the needle should seat itself ...................and if right side up..[like on the engine].the float should drop and let fuel [air]in....[ if the bowl is off]

 

[reddragon]

Kenny and i saying the same thing! :biggrin:..........the only way it could be opposite is if the needle was on the other side of the fulcrum

 

[princeal]

You are both right I have had the thing off an on and right side up right side down so many times I have forgot which is which. The numbers on the carb are B126 with the b possibly an 8 and the 6 possibly being a G on the other side of the mounting flange is 0700 with the last 0 possibly being a D they are all ran together so made I cant tell. Hopefuuly the picture will load and be of use.P.S. The carb rebuild kit I was sold is Briggs #498260

if you have a old guitar string handy, use a short piece th probe all the holes in the carb, guitar string is soft and wont hurt the carb, and sometimes you can take a plastic or wooden handled screw driver and rap or hit the carb on the outside of the body, lots of small blows can dislodge stubborn blockages, hold it over a white paper towel and see what if any thing comes out, be careful not to hit ant moving parts or gasket mating surfaces, good luck

ok...ill look some stuff up...but just from the pictures...that carb has alot of corrosive damage..doesnt mean it wont work... but doesnt mean it will either [depending how much damage on the inside passages]

 

[reddragon]

well...it looks like you have an old style version of the carb [without idle screw]...make sure that needle seat you put in was the right way.....it worries me that the governor linkage was messed with....do you think you can get it back to factory shape?....and all the linkages hooked to the carb properly?....its easy to get them wrong and will cause alot trouble....could you take some pictures of the engine where the carb goes on and the linkages?.....is the gas new?
