5hp Briggs and Statton Carburetor Replacement

Replacing the carburetor on a 5hp tiller.

So glad I found this video, I replaced the carb on my tiller, and I couldn’t get the choke to stay open in the new one, I was loosing my mind wondering what was I doing wrong!! I put a spring like you did, but I knew that wasn’t how it came off (I didn’t have the old carb unfortunately to cross reference, but I took pics lol) now seeing your video I feel so much better

Thank you! I'm a "novice weekend warrior mechanic" & your instructional video helped me replace the carburetor on my Briggs & Stratton rototiller. I ordered new carb from Amazon & that delivered it overnight.
Big Thanks!!

Thank you for the video bud! I was a bit nervous in replacing my carb on my fun power version of this engine. I could not find anything other than this video and I greatly appreciate you showing the steps on the carb replacement.

Thanks for the video. The governor spring popped off when I was pulling the tank off and I couldn't figure out where it connected. Watching your video I saw where it connects and now my wood splitter is running right.

Great tip on taking a picture. In my youth, before we all carried a camera with us at all times, referring to a photo would have saved me so much frustration & expense.

I have the same motor on a leaf blower and bought the same carb. Still did work right now I see why I need that spring for the choke. Would you know how long it is? I figured around2". And yeas make sure to take lots of phots unless you enjoy puzzles,

Thanks for a straight to the point video, great video and helpful!

Another great how to. I had a co-worker ask me if I could rebuild a carb for his mower if he brought it to me. I told I could, but the rebuild kit would cost as much as a replacement carb, and since he felt he could remove and replace the carb he should do that. I was a little off, as the rebuild kit would have been $6 cheaper. He took my advice.

Sir, does that black wire go inside the clear plastic on the bottom of the fuel tank by the linkage? Thank You

[bill.Latham]

I am having to remove the fuel tank because of gasoline that has been left in the tank for years since I last use the tiller. My question is where can I find the carburetor number; my carburetor looks like yours, but there are so many different models I just want to be sure. Thank You very much

Super informative video! I'm working on my tiller as well and I need to track down and purchase a few parts, and the model number on my Briggs is no longer there. I believe we have the same 5hp Briggs and was wondering if you'd be able to share the model number for yours? Thank you!

Hey I got a question I bought a new carb for this and it came with a fuel filter? But I don’t know where to install it

[willh]

Where did you buy the carb? When I search it all I get is kits to rebuild. My carb is identical to yours.
