Saihisday 494406 Fuel Tank with 795477 Carburetor Replacement for MTD Toro Craftsman Poulan Murray Fit for Lawn Mower Engines

What It Is

This is a combined replacement fuel tank (OEM 494406) and carburetor (OEM 795477) kit for many common push mowers with Briggs & Stratton engines. It’s designed to replace both parts at once on MTD, Toro, Craftsman, Poulan, and Murray mowers.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, check the following:

• Engine brand & model: This fits only Briggs & Stratton engines (not Honda, Kohler, or Tecumseh). Look for a model number on the engine shroud (e.g., 12A-* or 12B-*).
• OEM numbers: Verify your existing tank is 494406 and carburetor is 795477. This is an aftermarket set, not OEM.
• Deck size: Works with 21–22 inch walk-behind mowers; not for zero-turn or riding mowers.
• Mounting: The tank uses a single stud and nut. Ensure your mower frame has the matching hole pattern (common on most MTD/Toro decks).
• Fuel line: The kit includes a new fuel line, but check the inner diameter (3/16" or 1/4") matches your old one.

Key Things to Know

• Quality variance: Aftermarket carburetors often need the float bowl gasket and needle valve checked for debris before installation—clean with carb cleaner.
• Installation difficulty: Easy for DIYers (remove old tank, swap carb, reconnect fuel line and throttle linkage). Budget 30–45 minutes.
• Common gotcha: The new tank may not have the same mounting bracket thickness as OEM—use the included gasket or add a thin washer to prevent wobble.
• Primer bulb: The kit usually includes a new primer bulb; if yours is separate, you’ll need to transfer it or buy one.

Should You Buy It

This is a good budget fix for a mower with a clogged carb and cracked tank, especially if you’re comfortable with basic small-engine work. It’s not OEM quality, but for $26 it reliably gets a non-running mower back in action. Skip it if you want exact fit or a long-term repair for a high-use mower—buy OEM instead.
