5 hp Briggs carb kit

Amish neighbor has a tiller with 5 hp Briggs. The carb is diaphragm type with the slide style choke on it.

Any numbers on the engine are long gone. I've managed to track down a part #296882 online but I can't find anywhere that they offer a kit for it.

Anybody else run into this?
 
To my knowledge there is no rebuild kit for this carb,individual parts for same are bought as needed.

The most common problems with this style carb are fuel pump diaphram bad,screens on pickup tubes dirty/plugged,pickup tubes cracked/split,pickup tube has fallen out of carb body & lying in bottom of tank,top of tanked warped & gas leaking past diaphram flooding vacume passage in carb body or diaphram sucking air.

Go back & clean off flywheel cover & look at under a strong light/in daylight,briggs usually stamps mod,type & code# in one of the flat sides of flywheel cover,sometimes numbers get filled with paint,if you can find numbers click on link below & lookup mod/type numbers in briggs eng parts listing,look at assembly drawing/parts list for style carb you have & pn of parts needed.

If you remove the carburetor from the tank.Be sure to use 2 carburetor to tank gaskets and also 2 carburetor to block gaskets.
 
Hi having problems with a 4hp briggs engine. Leaking gas around gasket at the carb and tank. Made a gasket but still leaking. What is your reason for putting two gaskets between carb. and tank. Thanks diana
