What It Is

This is a direct-fit OEM replacement carburetor for Briggs & Stratton engines used on Craftsman, Murray, and Toro push mowers. It controls the fuel-air mixture for engines in the 6.5–6.75 hp, 190cc range, specifically the 675 and 625 Series.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your engine’s model, type, and code numbers (stamped on the valve cover or blower housing). This carburetor replaces OEM numbers 498170, 799872, 497586, 498254, 497314, 698444, and 790821. It fits Briggs & Stratton engines with 14111, 14112, or similar prefixes. It does not fit older 500cc or larger engines. Measure the mounting bolt spacing (approx. 2.5 inches center-to-center) and check the fuel inlet orientation—this carb uses a side-mounted fuel line. If your mower has a primer bulb, verify the primer line port matches. No deck size check needed; compatibility is engine-only.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Ruixing is an OEM supplier for some Briggs parts, so this is a factory-grade replacement—not a cheap generic. Expect consistent tolerances.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need to remove the air filter housing, fuel line, and linkage. Most users can do it in 20–40 minutes with basic hand tools. Watch for small springs and clips.
• Common gotcha: The carb may come with a plastic shipping plug in the fuel inlet—remove it before installing. Also, the gasket surfaces must be clean; old gasket residue causes vacuum leaks.
• Adjustment: Most of these carbs are pre-set and non-adjustable (fixed jet). If it runs rich or lean, clean the jet or replace the carb; no mixture screw to tweak.

Should You Buy It

If your Briggs 675/625 Series engine is hard-starting, surging, or won’t run, this carb is a reliable, cost-effective fix. It’s ideal for DIY homeowners who want a drop-in replacement without adjusting or rebuilding. Skip it if you have a different engine series or want an adjustable carb for performance tuning.
