Forum Newbie
snapper 30" rider m300
9 hp Briggs/Stratton 288702
Carb flooded the crankcase oil......too bad of shape to rebuild carb.

The carb. is a Walbro.....5-4993 LMT 53

Can anyone tell me the replacement for this carburetor??

I thought it was a 799728....but that is not it.

Thanks.

In looking at it the body and attachments are the same as my Walbro 5-4993........however on the manifold
side of the carb. the slotted area is almost 360 degree with 3 Holes......does this matter?
Thanks
 
In order to purchase correct carburetor you need to post model xxxxxx, type xxxx, trim xx & code numbers from engine data plate, sticker, stamp on engine.
recheck model & type numbers, not coming up, also post complete Snapper model number from mower, example: 421614bve

Have you taken the carb apart. Usually the problem is a piece of debris gets under the needle valve and it can't shut the fuel flow off or the needle valve is bad. You don't have much to loose by checking unless it still runs and you turn the gas off when done mowing.
