Installed in no time.... I had to slightly enlarge the throttle bushing and polish the linkage to keep it from sticking (no biggee). The choke butterfly sits in a slot in a plastic shaft. It was so loose it would bind and get out of position as the engine ran. I finally snapped the butterfly and shaft from the old carb and transferred it to the new one and problem solved. Runs like new..... VERY PLEASED over all. Charge 50 cents more, fix the darn choke and you get 5 stars.......

This part fit perfectly and no problem to install. The only thing I would add is it is a part more for safety and it is possible to run the engine without it by making some modifications. It simply cuts off the fuel by pushing the fuel float and needle to off position when the ignition is off. When you turn on the ignition, the solenoid pulls the button in and allows gas to fill the carb bowl. I saw some youtube sites where the solenoid was disabled by grinding off the end of the button that moves in and out so it cannot cut off fuel. This is basically how the old engines were designed (ie. no solenoid to cut off fuel). But to be safe, I would recommend utilizing this solenoid as now designed. Note: For winterization, it does not serve any purpose when the motor/mower is stored since it will not prevent gumming of carb by fuel left in carb bowl over winter. To winterize, install a fuel cutoff valve in fuel line (if you do not already have it), start engine and then cut off the fuel. Let the engine run until the fuel in carb runs dry. Leave the fuel cutoff in the off position until next spring or when ready to start engine This will eliminate a common problem of old fuel evaporating in the carb and gumming it up which most likely will cause cranking problems in spring.Read full review

Old solenoid was sticking, engine starving for fuel and stalling. Tried to free up the plunger, but began sticking again. Ordered new, got in no time. 5 minute change out. Runs great again. Thanks.

I tried everything to get my Briggs engine to run on any throttle position other than idle. Talking with a lawnmower repair shop regarding everything I had tried, he said it sounded like it was time to replace the carb. Cleaning it out 3 times didn't work and every other thing I tried didn't work either. I didn't really want to spring for the $100 an authentic Nikki cost so I got this replacement. It fits and works great. Before, the Nikki was running rich and fouling the spark plug all the time until it finally would crank and idle and that was all. Now my plug stays clean, mower runs great and the best part is that this carb was around $20 instead of $100. There was one part I did transfer over from the Nikki. The choke butterfly valve on the NIkki is brass so I thought it was a better part than what was on this replacement carb. I pulled it and installed the Nikki brass one on it.Read full review

Bought a far cheaper one last fall when the original failed after almost 300 hrs. Cheaper isn’t better when it comes to these. This one is better quality made in Japan and you can see and feel the difference. Genuine Briggs and Stratton part is the way to go. If your mower is down get this one.
