Needed to replace Briggs and Stratton carburetor on John Deere Lawn Tractor - float sticking. Purchased replacement carburetor, however, the original used a lever that pushed a rod forward and engaged the choke. When the lever is reversed, the rod disengages and the gate springs back closed. On the replacement part purchased from B&S - #791886, the choke is manually operated.
I contacted Briggs and Stratton and was told that this is the correct replacement part. However, there is not a spring on the replacement unit. Quote "it is up to the customer to create a workaround as we no longer make a specific part for this engine."
Has anyone run into this situation? Briggs and Stratton also said they do not make any adapter kit?
Thank you.
