What It Is

This is an aftermarket carburetor designed to replace Briggs & Stratton part numbers 798653, 696981, 698860, and 10+ others. It fits many 5.5HP single-cylinder engines used on walk-behind mowers, pressure washers, and small tractors, specifically models like the 214731, 110432, 110492, 110412, 111432, 120202, 120212, 121212, and 121232.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your engine’s model number (e.g., 214731) and type/code—these are stamped on the blower housing or valve cover. This carb replaces OEM parts 798653, 696981, 698860, 694508, 795069, 698859, 790180, 790290, 693865, 697354, 791991, 698810, and 698857. It is a direct bolt-on for many 5.5HP single-cylinder engines, but check your mounting flange hole spacing (usually 2-bolt) and the fuel inlet orientation. It does not include a gasket or fuel line—reuse or buy separately. Not compatible with larger engines (6.5HP+) or different model series (e.g., 12-series). Measure your old carb’s overall length and bowl diameter to be safe.

Key Things to Know

• Quality variance: At $11.59, this is a budget aftermarket unit. Some users report needing to clean out debris or adjust the float height out of the box.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need to remove the air filter, fuel line, and throttle linkage. Expect to adjust the idle mixture screw (if present) for smooth running.
• Common gotchas: The mounting gasket may not seal perfectly—use a thin layer of gasket sealer. The fuel inlet fitting can be slightly smaller than OEM, so you may need a new fuel line clamp.
• No warranty support: With only 9 reviews and a 4.1 rating, long-term reliability is unproven. Buy two if you need a spare.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a cheap, quick fix for a non-critical mower or pressure washer engine and are comfortable with minor adjustments. Skip it if you want a guaranteed fit, OEM reliability, or have a commercial-use machine—spend $30+ on a genuine Briggs carb for peace of mind.
