OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Engines Questions On Briggs & Stratton Engines Small two piece flow jet carb

Hi,
The small two piece flo jet carb I have to suit a 5hp brigss is leaking like a sive from the fuel bowl gasket due to what I think is warpage of the main body in the corners from overtighting of the screws.

Does anyone know of a replacement carb or the same carb for sale anywhere. Second hand if in good condition is ok, otherwise a price on a replacement would be good.

Cheers,
Craig.

Hi there, in theory the bowl should not be getting full enough for it to spill over the side, the gaskket is only theere to help with spillage when the machine is bumped and/or tipped on an angle.

I would be ensuring the needle vale is seating and sealing properly and also adjust the float level if need be.

Thanks Joe,

Have ordered a needle and seat though may be able to get my hands on a New Old Stock replacement hopefully.

Cheers,
Craig.
