It’s ideal for DIY repairs or routine maintenance on walk‑behind mowers and outdoor power equipment powered by compatible Briggs & Stratton engines. 

Key Features

• Direct Replacement Fit: Designed as a compatible substitute for Briggs & Stratton carburetor part 498809 (and often other related OEM numbers such as 498809A and 497619), making installation straightforward with no modifications needed when the mount and linkages match. 

• Restores Fuel Delivery: Precision‑cast body and internal components help recreate proper fuel‑air mixture delivery to support smoother idling, better starting and consistent throttle response.

• Includes Essential Gaskets/Hardware: Many replacement versions come complete with gaskets, diaphragms, springs and mounting hardware for easier installation (check specific supplier listing for included parts). 

• Wide Compatibility: Suits a variety of Briggs & Stratton Sprint, Classic and Quattro series engines (e.g., 096902, 096982, 098902 and similar vertical engine codes) found on push‑type lawn mowers — always confirm engine model/type before ordering.

• Cost‑Effective Alternative: A high‑quality aftermarket option when the original OEM part is discontinued, helping keep your equipment in service without the premium price tag.

Why It Matters
A properly functioning carburetor is essential for delivering the correct fuel‑air mixture to your engine. A worn or clogged carb can cause hard starting, rough idle, loss of power or poor fuel economy. This compatible replacement helps resolve those issues and keeps your mower running reliably when you need it most.
