Compatible Models
We do our best to list all compatible models. Although this may be the part you need, your exact model may not appear below.
Compatible equipment / model
- Select Briggs & Stratton 124000-series engines
- Compatible Briggs & Stratton 4-hp engines using the listed carburetor design

- Compatible Briggs & Stratton 7-hp utility engines after model/type/code verification
Product Overview
If a compatible engine surges, starts only with choke, stalls under load, leaks fuel, or will not restart after storage, varnish or internal carburetor wear may be restricting fuel control. This assembly is intended for matching Briggs & Stratton applications when cleaning, adjustment, and basic fuel-system checks do not restore operation.
Horsepower alone is not a fitment standard. Use the engine model, type, and code stamped on the shroud and compare the mounting flange, fuel inlet, choke, primer, and linkage arrangement with the removed carburetor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this fit every 4- to 7-hp Briggs engine? A: No. Confirm the stamped engine identification and physical carburetor design.
Q: Can old fuel cause these symptoms? A: Yes. Untreated gasoline can degrade and leave deposits that obstruct small carburetor passages.
Q: What else should be checked? A: Inspect fresh fuel supply, tank vent, air filter, spark, compression, governor linkage, and intake seals.
