Vintage Briggs & Stratton carb. air intake stud I.D.

[silver1]

Yes, when trying to restore vintage engines the parts are hard to find and can get pricy. Price I found was $14.99. Have you tried any repair shops in your area? You might get lucky and they may have one in old stock or used parts. With old engines, don't worry too much about the exact TYPE number, most of the time you can get by with just model unless you need a carb or crank.

I live in Reno and the shops here are newer ones and really don't have old stock. The one that could have it is a real azz and service is such a bother! He is a real piece of work! I will watch ebay, but I just may get a long screw for now. About 3.5 inches should do it for now.
The one one ebay now for $14.99 wants $3.99 shipping! (for what...3 oz.)

You have a great day! All is starting to green up now.

Do you have the washer or nut or combo needed to hold the cover light?

I took the one I had and straightened it out and I will use it for now. I had to use a different wing nut as the stud is METRIC.
The correct one is Made in the USA.
