After replacing with the Carb the engine runs better at idle but I have lost some top speed. Any ideas what the problem is?

First, go back and clean the carburetor again (you may have a partial blockage in one of the jets). After that, you may need to adjust the air/fuel screw. After letting the engine warm up for about 5 min (so the choke has disengaged), try tuning the screw a little bit at a time to get the best overall performance.

Good morning Tom. In order to help you further we would need the model, type and code off of your engine. The carburetor you are trying to replace is not coming up in our system so once we get those numbers we can help you further.

Mine was hard to start the first time, but is fine now. Still doesn't want to rev up quickly. I know this is a carb adjustment. 1st start after a long non-use period, I have to hold the throttle trigger fully down. It' hard to believe the part about the carb not being under a warranty. lm

For me, the key was the mounting holes. It installed perfectly. I primed it and the engine ran like a charm.Well worth the few dollars and easier than trying to rebuild the carb (again).

First , I have worked on this stuff for 30 + years , so what I did is find that this 11177 carb. was a close match to the one I needed . With a little tweeking , it ran fine . I found that you need to get a zoom in pic of this carb . and see if the throttle link is the same , the rest is pretty much no big issue . I did have to run it a little richer than the old carb because its a little smaller jets inside , but if the throttle link is the same , you should be good . when you get it , before you open the package , check to see if all the fuel lines and throttle is in the same place .

Sound like a new carb and if you can rebuild the old one. I would replace the gas lines, filter and carb!

I can't give you an honest answer. I can say that the carburetor did not match the one on my lawn mower. The linkage had a small difference, all I had to do was tweak it. Carb worked out great, easier & less time to repair. That was the 3rd carb in 2 months that I used.

Did you add "Stable" in the gas after the last run? It is most likely a gummed up carb, because of todays crap gasoline.

This is the correct carb for your unit. Make sure your fuel pump is working, mine was not,had to replace it also.

To the best of my knowledge the carb setup is the same on this line of Briggs engine. FYI if you purchase this carb do yourself a favor by attaching the throttle cable prior to installing the carb on the engine. If you don't you will buggar up the cable assembly.

I have 4.5 hp .. The Carburetor Diaphragm is nothing to do with the motor. Check the carburetor part number

Same engine and carb but different chain adjustment. Maybe other stuff too. I got mine working today. It needed a new carb. The ethanol in gas ate the plastic check valves. I will update my review.

Try cleaning the air hole on the gas cap first. I replaced the fuel pump, but still had stalling until I cleaned out the air hole in the gas cap.

Had the exact same thing happen. It was still under the 1 year warenty so we took it to a repair shop. Bad carburetor. Now it starts normal again.
