To replace the main jet sealing washer on this briggs and stratton engine…

… you will need a 5/16th inch nut driver and a half-inch wrench.

Before you begin this procedure, make sure the engine has cooled.

For easier access, we recommend detaching the air filter base first.

To do this…

… use the 5/16th inch nut driver to unthread the two mounting screws securing the air filter cover.

Remove the cover and the air filter…

…then unthread the screws securing the filter base.

Pull the choke lever off so you can move the base out of the way.

Now use the half-inch wrench to unthread the main jet from the bottom of the carburetor bowl.

If still intact, slide off the old washer.

To install the new sealing washer…

… slide it over the threads of the main jet.

Confirm the carburetor bowl gasket is fully seated and reposition the bowl if necessary…

… then thread and tighten the jet.

Insert the two mounting screws through the air filter base…

… then align the base and thread the screws into the carburetor.

Replace the choke lever.

With the pre- cleaner positioned in the cover followed by the air filter with its rubber gasket facing outward…

… align the cover on the base…

… and secure it with the screws.

The engine should be ready for use.
