I could not find it on the Briggs website either, but it's listed on parts tree site.

The number listed above is the diaphragm kit old P/N 495770

Briggs has changed their site for some reason and the model must be 6 digits so you need a "0" in front of the 95902 and dashes between everything, don't know why they fixed something that wasn't broken. Have a good one. Geo

Is there a certain procedure to follow when removing the carb/gas tank or is there a way to remove the carb only ? Thank in advance for any info.

If You need to install a new diaphram kit, it is Briggs part # 795083 or old # 495770 also Lowe's has a kit #5083 which has the same parts.

Here we go;
Remove air cleaner, there are 2 bolts that hold things together, one on the front of the tank 3/8" and one into the block 1/2", remove these bolts, now "slowly" slide the carb/tank off the intake tube and breather tube, now tilt the tank in to release the throttle linkage and waalaa the carb/tank is removed. Remove the 5 screws from the carb/tank remove carb(don't loose the spring) now spray all holes, cracks and crevases in both the carb and tank surface with brake parts cleaner, remove the main screen(looks like a thimble) with a small screwdriver pry out the main jet(carefully) and clean it, reinstall the jet, it can be difficult some times to get it to snap back in place(I use the rounded end of a screwdriver handle). Remove and clean the fuel pickup stem. Clean any junk/rust from the tank. Install the diaphram on the tank then the gasket(no goo or sealer) now carefully replace the carb(the spring will try to misalign the diaphram), tighten all screws a little at a time so as not to crimp the diaphram until they are all tight. Install the carb/tank in reverse order and you are done. If I missed something one of the real mechanics will correct me. Have a good one. Geo

How do you get the primer out? Mine just stays pushed in. Thanks

There are 2 tabs on either side of the primer bulb assembly that must be pushed in to remove the primer bulb, the new primer comes with a new retaining ring, so don't worry about damage to the old retainer when pushing the tabs in to unlock it. There may just be some blockage on the fuel pickup tube, this can cause the primer bulb to stick in when you attempt to use the primer.

I want to "Thank You" fine gents for holding my hand through this project. Got the needed parts this morning and did as advised. (You could have warned me that the carb was all plastic. Apparently it had been painted on the outside, so I figured it was cast or metal. I was suprised when the paint came off.) Everything went well. Primed it, pulled twice and it came to life and just purred. Again ... Thank You.

Glad you got it figured out, the carburetors on the smaller Briggs engines have been plastic for so long now that I hardly give it a second thought. All the pulsa prime carburetors have always been plastic, only the earlier pulsa jets were ever made of aluminum.

Thank You ... I'll remember the difference. Well now onto another project. A Walbro, but that's for another thread.
