5HP Briggs/Snapper Leaf Blower

[jlgurr]

In a different thread I found some info on why my Briggs on this blower will only run with the choke on. All fingers point to the carb being gummed up or needing serious cleaning. We have no idea how old this engine is but was hoping someone could help ID the carburetor and point me in the direction of a place to buy a kit to rebuild it.

Thanks,
Jeff

That's a pulsa jet carb. What are the numbers stamped on the blower housing? Yes, only running with choke points to a plugged up circuit in it. There's lots of parts outlets online. Even Amazon will have them. Jack's small engines is a good resource. There is even aftermarket kits for those.

Thank you. Got the parts on order now. Hope it solves the problem. Leaves are falling fast now.

Good deal. Happy to help. Let me know if you need anything else. Been awhile since I've been into one of those.

I'm excited about it and looking forward to easier leaf raking "blowing" this year.

Hey Zombie,

Finished the carb rebuild and reassembled the blower. Wow! That thing runs like a Tasmanian Devil in a Tornado. Thank you!

Can't imagine why lol. No kids yet, so the goldfish is the only daughter I have. Luckily she's 15 now and behaves herself.
