Briggs 5hp flathead carburetor rebuild

[natman316]

Hi

I got this B&S engine used off a member on here and when i started it, it could not idle properly and it would die down.

The old owner said it needed a carburetor rebuild. does anyone here have instructions, or tips for this? Thanks

Buy a carb kit, online or at a local mower store. Take the carb apart, being sure to clean the passages and whatnot. Reassemble with the kit.
