What It Is

This AUTOKAY 799868 carburetor kit is a complete replacement fuel and ignition set for 6–6.75 HP Craftsman and Snapper 22" push mowers. It includes the carburetor, air filter, and spark plug—everything you need to restore starting and running performance on older or neglected mowers.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Engine types: Fits Briggs & Stratton 6–6.75 HP engines commonly found on Craftsman and Snapper 22" push mowers (model years 2000–2015 typical).
• OEM cross-references: Replaces Craftsman/Snapper part numbers 498170, 799872, 694202, 497586, and 498254. Also fits many Toro and MTD models with the same engine.
• What to measure: Check your carburetor mounting bolt spacing (center to center) – should be 2.5". Also verify air filter housing shape matches your deck’s layout.
• Spark plug gap: Plug comes pre-gapped, but verify it matches your engine spec (typically 0.030"). If your mower uses a different plug thread length, this kit won’t fit.

Key Things to Know

• Quality is decent for the price – not OEM-grade brass jets, but works well after cleaning out any shipping debris. Rinse the carb bowl with carb cleaner before installing.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate (30–60 minutes). You’ll need a socket set, screwdrivers, and possibly a fuel line clamp. Watch a YouTube video for your specific mower model.
• Common gotcha: The included gaskets may be slightly thicker than OEM – use the old gasket if the new one causes an air leak. Also, the fuel line may be a tight fit; warm the line in hot water to soften it.
• Spark plug is a generic replacement – fine for most, but if you want a Champion or NGK, buy separately. The plug works, but longevity is average.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you have a 6–6.75 HP Craftsman or Snapper 22" mower that won’t start or runs rough, and you want a single kit to replace the carb, air filter, and plug for under $20. It’s a solid budget fix for a weekend DIY job, but skip it if you need exact OEM fitment or plan to keep the mower for 5+ years without further carb work.
