I have a 3.5HP Briggs that has a 499952 carburetor on it. The carburetor is damage and I am planning on replacing it with an aftermarket one. I have used these before and have not had any issues. The carburetor I ordered won't be here until the end of March. I found another carburetor 499953 that is used on the same model of engine 91202 but with different type and date code ranges, I can get this carburetor in two days. Both carburetors are for 3 quart fuel tanks but I cannot find any information on the differences between them, does anyone know what the differences are or where I might be able to find this info. I suspect that a port may be sized differently between the two but dont know for sure.

From the briggs diagrams you have to pay close attention. the 499952 is for the 2 quart tank which uses a 4-1/4 inch pickup tube. the 499953 is for the 3 quart tank which uses a 4-7/8 inch pickup tube, The difference is in the length of the pickup tube.

I need to replace a Briggs and Stratton carburetor # 796608 and I am told that it has a replacement # 591137.
Is this correct ?

According to Briggs dealer distribution the 796608 is still the valid number without being superceded. And the 591137 is also a valid non superceded part number so they do not interchange with each other. What is the model type and code of your Briggs engine so we can determine which carb you actually need.

The date code 11042862 uses the 796608 since you are before 11070100
