wildman 205 #3 Posted January 12, 2011 Be sure to remove the main nozzle before you attempt to pull the top part of the carb off.Other than that.They are rather easy to do .Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

harleyjj 2 #6 Posted January 12, 2011 Thanks for all of the advice! where is the best place to buy a rebuild kit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theoldwizard1 2 #7 Posted January 13, 2011 In order to "do it right" get yourself a bucket of ChemDip. About $20 at any good auto parts store. After disassembly, soak all part at least overnight (strainer basket included). One bucket should last you a lifetime. BTW: Google briggs carb rebuild. There are 3 or 4 basic kinds (VacuJet, FloJet, etc.) so you have to figure out which kind you have. There are even some decent videos on YouTube. Newer B&S single verticals I believe use a Walbro carb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KB9LOR 4 #8 Posted January 13, 2011 Get the Number off the Carb, I can price you one, some you can pick up local to you for a good price others that are high I can get cheaper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,530 #9 Posted January 13, 2011 The nozzle for the 2-piece Flow-jet carb has a tapered seat above the threads. Once the nozzle is removed and reinstalled there is a 90% chance the taper will not seat. Fuel will drip out the carb intake when not running. When running it sucks it up and burns it. Loctite or Permatex make a teflon paste pipe thread sealer that will work with gas. Take a toothpick and apply a thin layer to the tapered seat of the nozzle only and problem solved.

flyovrcntry 115 #12 Posted January 14, 2011 I don't buy the kits if I don't have to,they are just too expensive because you are paying for a lot of parts that you either don't need or they are not for your carb.Just take the id numbers and buy the parts you need.

harleyjj 2 #13 Posted January 14, 2011 Thanks guys! I will try and rebuild the carb this weekend and see how it runs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
harleyjj 2 #14 Posted January 18, 2011 well I rebuilt the carb sunday and it seems to run better now, still struggling to get it dialed in just right but I will get it. Also installed a new battery and new ground cable and WOW what a difference in starting! One thing I noticed is it now seems to pop from the exhaust after shutting it off??? :banghead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
