I'm not sure this is the right place to be asking this question but I need some help. I have a Briggs & Stratton engine # 170452, Type 2049-01 followed with this number 84032110. The kit for the car is 394693. The problem is that someone was in the carb before me and put the wrong gasket in it. That is not problem seen the new kit had the gasket needed. They also left a part out that came in the kit. Now the problem is determining which float needle to use. A needle with a viton tip was is carb. According to the instruction there is two different needles that can be used. The viton tipped needle or an all aluminum needle. I'm not sure the viton tipped needle is correct finding the other problems. I there a way to determine which needle should be used. There is a viton seat that is used with the aluminum needle. If I place the viton seat in the needle well it just falls out. That leads me to think I should use the viton tipped needle. Thanks for any help.

Are you sure its a Briggs & Stratton engine? The Briggs carb. has a gasket between the carb and the top of the tank, which sometimes goes bad.This gasket makes the fuel pump operate. The older model carbs had a cup and spring deal, that if you got it together the wrong way, it wouldn't pump! The newer ones i have seen just have the spring setting on top of the gasket, with no visible means of keeping it in place. Tecumseh engines usually have a float and needle valve, with the Viton seat. I haven't seen that type on a Briggs,except for the larger engines. but thats not to say they don't have one. As for the rubber tipped needle, i have used both types in some carbs i have repaired. And have never seen a seat that just falls out! Usually air pressure will remove them, but be careful--finding one on the garage floor is a nasty job, especially if its the only one you have!
