I need help on this carb

Recommended Posts

OK here is my problem. (not only one according to my wife) but anyway. The PO had taken all of the tin off the top of the engine and lost the piece that holds the air cleaner housing on, if anyone has one could you take a picture and take a measurement of how high it is from the top of carb so I can try to make one. Thank you

The strap is just high enough for the bolt head to clear the choke plate when open.

I assume you have the filter and cover, so you should be able to figure out the length of the stud (bolt) using that as a guide.

But...... If you really need a picture and measurements, I can probably get them a little later.

Or....... The B&S part number is 495077 if you feel like shelling out $7 instead of making one yourself. :omg:

Make sure that you do not have any small part that can come lose and get sucked in to the engine. Makes for a bad day.

I am fully aware of that and it was taken into consideration while I was doing it but thank you for taking the time to remind me of that

Mavfreak...

I can get you a picture and dimensions, but it won't be until Sunday at the earliest....

I'll keep an eye on this thread, and if nobody has given you the info, I'll get it for you, sorry it won't be sooner.
