HubbardRA 11 Report post Posted July 2, 2010 The last one I put in is pressed in, epoxied, staked, tie wired, and now has a cage over it to catch it when it comes off. You would think B/S could have made them last longer than 40 years. sm01 Do you think Roy would shoot me if I put a Kohler carb on a B/S? How about a Mikuni, he likes the Japanese cars?

Roy 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2010 Sam, "This sort of thing NEVER happens to my" Briggs engines. :D Maybe they know you don't like them and act up to get you back. ;) gwiseman, "what? it didnt flush?" Only Kohlers flush.......... :O Rod, "Roy would shoot me if I put a Kohler carb on a B/S? How about a Mikuni, he likes the Japanese cars?" Yes, I might shoot you. However, a Mikuni sounds like a good idea. ^ Cheers Gang, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
larry8200 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2010 Pinnacle View Equipment, The Simplicity dealer I deal with, When I asked if they had those plugs one day, they gave me three free of charge. Must be B&S gives them away, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brettw 389 Report post Posted July 2, 2010 I replaced more than one before I epoxied it in. That fixed 'er right up. You have two choices, welsh plugs on one hand, a fuel pump on the other. And, FYI Briggs is a company that makes toilets too. Admittedly not B&S Briggs, they do not have the technical skills to build a commode. It takes a rare company that can provide both great power and relief all under one roof. ^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dentwizz 1 Report post Posted July 2, 2010 Those plugs get hot too. I had one kneecap me while I was mowing a field. Amazingly I found it a half hour later, since I was a mile from the house;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert_Rainwater 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2010 Drill a hole all the way through the carb and put in a 1/4" toggle bolt and no more worries. Simple solution!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
