799868 Carburetor with Air Filter Spark Plug Tune Up Kit Compatible with Briggs & Stratton Craftsman 694882, 698444,498254, 798170, 498170, 49-817-0, 497347, 498966 and 497314.4-7 hp Engines

What It Is

This is a complete tune-up kit for 4-7 hp Briggs & Stratton engines, commonly found on Craftsman push mowers and riding mowers. It includes a carburetor, air filter, spark plug, and gaskets—everything needed to restore starting and running performance.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, check your engine’s model number (not just mower brand). This kit fits Briggs & Stratton engines using these OEM part numbers: 694882, 698444, 498254, 798170, 498170, 49-817-0, 497347, 498966, 497314. It’s compatible with most 4-7 hp single-cylinder engines with a horizontal or vertical shaft (common on Craftsman, Murray, and other push mowers). Measure your old carburetor’s mounting bolt spacing (typically 2.5” or 3”) to confirm. It does not fit engines with a primer bulb or auto-choke systems unless explicitly listed.

Key Things to Know

• Quality varies: Aftermarket kits may have slightly thinner gaskets or less precise float adjustments than OEM. Check for debris in the carburetor bowl before installing.
• Installation is moderate: You’ll need basic tools (socket set, screwdriver) and about 30-45 minutes. Watch for small springs and gaskets that can easily drop.
• Common gotcha: The included spark plug may not match your engine’s gap spec (check .030” gap). Use your old plug’s gap as a reference.
• Not a universal fit: Even if your engine is 4-7 hp, verify your carb mounting pattern and throttle linkage style. Some engines use a different choke or governor arm.

Should You Buy It

Yes, if you have a common 4-7 hp Briggs & Stratton engine with one of the listed OEM numbers and want a budget-friendly, complete tune-up kit. It’s ideal for DIYers who don’t mind minor adjustments and want to save money over individual OEM parts. Skip it if you need exact OEM quality or have an unusual engine model—OEM will be more reliable.
