Common Carburetors For Your Lawnmower. Briggs And Stratton Or Honda.
Here you will find my battle-tested list of carburettors. All the items listed here are genuine parts. Do not buy aftermarket Carburettors they do not work! (believe me, I’ve tried!)
Sometimes it’s just quicker (and easier) to replace an entire carburettor.
Please note all parts listed are personally picked and I have gone to the trouble of only selecting genuine parts where possible.
Leave me a comment on my Youtube channel if you can’t find a part. Just post your question in the comments section of any video and I will get back to you.

I have done this many times especially on the Briggs And Stratton plastic pulsa style carburettor. They are a plastic carburettor sitting on a metal gas tank. Over time they can become warped and no matter what you do it won’t work correctly or form a good seal between the carburettor and petrol tanks.
You may experience gas leakage and hunting and surging problems if this part needs replacing!
Sometimes, unfortunately, total replacement is the only way
Here is a link to a Briggs and Stratton Genuine 795477 Carburetor
This is used on many Brigss And Stratton Lawnmowers including the Briggs And Stratton 35 classic engine and many others.
There is only one size of this carburettor so if it looks correct for your lawnmower then it’s definitely this part.
It comes complete with carburettor, pick up tube, primer bulb and filter plus it has a genuine diaphragm and gasket also. It also includes the vibration spring and the linkage for the governor spring to connect to. In short, it’s ready to go.

This carburettor is fitted to the Quantum series of Briggs And Stratton Engines. It is a little more difficult to service than the pulsa style carburettor so often it is the best option to replace the part. If a lawnmower has been stood for a long time with stale fuel in the carburettor then replacement is a sensible option.
The latest carburettor on the 450 and 500 E series Briggs And Stratton lawnmowers use a plastic bowl style carburettor. This carburettor is basically an in-between of the two listed above.
It uses a bowl style carburettor set up yet it’s plastic.
I like it as it eliminates the problems that can occur on the pulsa style carburettors particularly as it doesn’t require a diaphragm and gasket.
