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.
- Select Briggs & Stratton Intek single-cylinder engines rated 14.5–21 HP
- Briggs & Stratton engine applications originally using 594593, 591731, or 794572
Product Overview
Hard starting, hunting at governed speed, black smoke, or fuel leaking into the intake can all lead to the carburetor, but the repair begins with fresh fuel, a clean filter, and confirmation that the choke opens fully. This assembly is a sensible replacement when the original has varnished passages, a damaged seat, or excessive shaft wear.
Intek engines with the same advertised horsepower can use different carburetors. Confirm the engine model/type/code and compare the fuel solenoid, choke, mounting flange, and linkage.
