Can't find this part locally so, hopefully someone will have or know where I can get one on here. Much appreciated !

Do you want OEM or aftermarket? I have some but may need gone through.

Either. Lowest price possible. Thanks.

You can have the aftermarket one for $40 shipped. It is used, complete, clean. I wouldn't know how to tune it though.

No idea if it is any good. Many people have had good luck with inexpensive carbs. It appears easy to find one online for not a lot of money.

I bought a cheap one for my Stihl saw and it runs too rich. It did work okay when I first got it, but not do much now a few months later. The original one lasted over a decade, until the diaphragm stopped working.

It looks like the original carb for your engine is still available, but is probably twice the price.

I think the original one is 160-180 maybe?

It seems the original is NLA: Briggs and Stratton 808728 CARBURETOR - Jacks Small Engines

So, your choice is rebuild the one you have. The rebuild kit looks to be about $140 or so. Or, buy a new clone from one of the many sources on the Internet. Be aware that B&S used different carbs based on serial number, not really sure what is the difference and how much it matters. I would buy the cheap carb and see if it works.

But, how do you know you even need a new carb?

Thanks. The main problem is the mounting with the online ones. The ones that match, mount differently therefore, won't work. This one is 4 bolt mount.
I put a new fuel pump on it and gas flow is good to Carb.
The Mower sat for 9 years. The owner died and I got it off of a relative. It actually started and ran for about 20 minutes when i got it. Gas was overflowing out of the choke . Cleaned carb. Put needle. Mower never started again unless primered Then would die after primer burned out.

Try this guy...he used to work for B&S and when he was kind of forced out they gave him a ton of inventory...he is a terrific guy ...good rices...if he does not have it...he can fix your old one inexpensively

Post a picture. Sounds like it's not the original engine.

Sounds like the needle wouldn't close originally and now it won't open. I usually got them to run but would be lean or right and I learned about how to clean the pilot jet, the nozzle, etc.

The parts for them are so darn expensive and normally not stocked most places so a bowl gasket and a needle comes out to almost $50.

I needed some carb work on a Vanguard 14 on a Broadmoor...a new carb was almost 250 dollars...a rebuild kit was about 130 dollars...the guy whose information I posted provided the parts and rebuilt it for 60 dollars all in

Jets may of got grimed up as old gas ran thru them when it started. Ive used carb cleaner over and over. What did u do to clean them ?

Thanks man ! Actually found a carb match. Supposed to be here 2morrow. Hopefully, it works.

 

[Trentofdestiny]

Well good luck. It's certainly cheaper than fixing the OEM one, although you may decide to do that later to have a spare.
