I think that Briggs has a non adjustable float in it. The carburetor is made in Mexico and is not repairable. Like I said earlier I couldn't find parts for the one I repaired and had to replace the carburetor. Maybe with your model number someone will come up with something different then what I just told you?? I have found the time and money you spend on trying to repair some of these foreign carburetors you are better off replacing it.

What you will need is the engine model number. B&S puts this number on the fan shroud. ( BUT ) You will have your best luck finding parts for this mower right from a John Deere dealer with the tractor model number not the engine number. John Deere has there own part numbers.
