I have an older 16hp I/C motor,(about early, mid 80"s)and the outer shroud with any numbers on it is gone, so Briggs"web site can"t/won"t help.
The carb is clogged up (of course) and the motor hasn"t been used in years, but will run with starter fluid.
I want to take the carb apart( big heavy thing) and clean it up but don"t want to break anything. There is a brass tube from the bottom of the bowl from the needle valve, going to the top half of the carb. I didn"t want to take it apart without a diagram in case there is some trick or something that will break, I"m a fisherman, not a small engine guy,lol
If any of this makes any sense, and anyone has any advice, I"d greatly appreciate it, Thanks

There could be numbers on the carb. If there are you may be able to go to the B&S site and see an exploded view if it. Go to the library and check out the B&S repair manual or any small engine repair manual. As said, these are simple carbs to work on.

for the removal of that internal jet, i used an old screw-driver, which i ground down the sides and the tip, so it would just fit down inside that hole, and fit the slot snugly. then, with some moderate pressure, i got it loose, and got it out, carefully! That tool is now part of my mower repair kit! I don't use it very often, but when i need it, i really need it! If you are careful, the gaskets can be used again! but be sure to blow out all of the jets, etc, and watch for any small parts that like to jump out and roll or fly away! "WOW!! i'm free at last!!" is what i've heard them say, as they roll or fly away to some inaccessible, or unseeing spot, never to be found again, until, 20 years later, somebody says: "Wonder what that funny looking thing is for!" Especially that little Viton seat in the more modern Tecumseh Carbs! "Uh-oh, whut was that thing that flew out?"

You have the flo-jet type carburetor that has the nozzel that runs up through both parts.If not removed before the carburetor is taken apart can cause damage to both parts.Remove nut holding idel speed screw and use a screwdriver that will not touch sides of hole but thick enough to fit slot in nozzel.The model on my 16HP IS 326431 the type is 0133-02.The numbers are down on the right side of engine on the cover that covers the fly wheel.Hope this helps,good luck..... ....

Every brigs carb I've had to take apart was amazingly simple. I've cut my own bowl gaskets using thin gasket paper. So far all were stuck needle/float issues that were easilly remidied by about 5 minutes of cleaning using a can of carb spray and qtips.. ZI'd avoid the 'dip' stype carb cleaners.. as they eat pretty much everything that isn't metal.. including plastic floats..
