Why do you put vinegar in the gas?????????? I switched a few yrs back to only use High test fuel. In Cda there si no ethanol in it. Ethanol absorbs water and can cause issues especially for storage.

I haven't heard of this vinegar in gas thing.

And yes ethanol does absorbs moisture from the air which is you store fuel in sealed containers beside storing in unsealed containers in places like small storage building is asking for problems. One spark at the wrong time things goes boom.

Feeling very silly, the date code is 000815YG Not 000845YG, so I was confused about the date code. Manufactured Aug 15, 2000.

As to the parts diagram, I can only guess that I was on a Euro Briggs site and not the US one.

When I contacted them they replied via email with the 407777-0131-E1 diagrams.

The email came from Wendy Dimas <briggs.lmp@smallenginesparts.zohodesk.com>

However, it also included these comments and a Florida phone number.

"Thank you for choosing us!

One question Jackdm. Did you even bother to lookup the IPL of the OP's engine? I am pretty darn sure you can't put a single barrel carburetor on a twin barrel intake. If the OP wants to go with the carb you posted the OP would have change out at least the intake manifold.

Please lookup IPLs before just randomly throwing something out there. Not every engine setup is the same for a particular model that is why we must have the type/spec numbers along with the model numbers. And sometimes we need the date code / serial number as OEM may have made changes along the way.

Maybe my reply should have been have a look on amazon, copied the wrong no, this looks more to what is being looking for. carburetor 405777 duel barrel. These carbs may not be a perfect match, made the 1 i needed worked with a little modification and a lot cheaper than OEM.

Oh I forget about the duct tape and JB Weld use.
