so, I have a 5hp Briggs vertical shaft motor the Carburetor is shot due to the fact that I used 12% vinegar, and it ate the carburetor completely there is nothing left to rebuild LOL, the numbers on the motor are as follows MODEL # 130902 / TYPE # 11198-04 / CODE #83122306 in my research I have found that the carb # for this motor is part # 299448
in searching online, I have found MODEL Series 130202 does this include my motor? also, the only Carb I can find is part # 299437 is that close enough to work? also, I have seen on Amazon carbs that come with gas tanks as well, the one I have is repairable, but I would rather have a new one. I look forward to hearing from anyone who can shed some light on this for me TIA.

If your model is 130902-1198-04 then 396748 is the carburetor for your date code. But Briggs said it is NLA.

Star is correct on carb number, I’m wrong, didn’t double check date code.

Talking about codes can someone please explain them to me?

My Briggs says:
Model 407777
Type 0128 E1
Code 000845YG

When I went to Briggs parts they only had 407777-0131-E1 parts diagram and no 0128.

Which of these is the date code and how to read it?

First the IPL for the 407777-0128-E1 is there.

Now date code first six digits is YYMMDD. The last two characters is the factory code.
