Wow, a whole bunch of folks boldly stating the obvious!

How about putting up the correct model/serial/type numbers off of the mower and engine????????

Look under the plate that the throttle control is mounted for the mower's model/serial number!

You should know where the engines Model/Type/Code numbers are!!!!!

Damn!!! Why do we have to pull teeth on every thread????

Hey... the engineman up there said this is a 498965. That is a carb for a Briggs and Stratton 12F702-1814-E1 engine which is what we have here along with a throttle control that works and a primer system that doesn't. Nobody is you to pull any ******* teeth.
 
i am telling u its the plastic housing its warped or the edge that meets the gasket is warn seen it a 100 times or more if u used gasket maker on it u might have got some in the hole on carb
 
The briggs numbers will give you a blowup of both carbs, maybe 4 if the Nikki ones were used, and a variety of throttle/choke controls, you pick the parts you need depending on what you have. If you could find the correct Toro model number, they usually give you an engine blowup of the exact engine you have....

So you would do everyone a favor and find the model number off of the tag, the number you gave me was showing an ohv engine. And yes, a serial number too!!!!
 
All I know is that carb was not the original carb which came on that mower. I also know that the air cleaner housing shown with primer will never work with the carb shown. That is all I know for sure, so I am out of this thread and will let the rest of you experts argue it out. I'm not smart enough to help.

Yeah, we have heard that before... Boldly state the obvious, try to take control of the thread, call anyone/everyone "bad cooks" too many cooks, etc.

If things get too difficult, you suggest the guy to go to a Scag dealer, and beg him to swap out parts......

If anyone doesn't fall into line, you throw up this "I am not smart enough to help" chit!!!!

"The rest of you experts"???

Come on..... Ease up man, quit trying to be "King of the Hill"!!!!!!
 
Ok to much anger. Your on a computer screen this is a community and as a community some people just don't get along (right ric :)) were all just trying to help :)
