Briggs & Stratton Fuel Pump - 597338

Product Details & Features

Keep your engine’s fuel delivery system working smoothly with this genuine Briggs & Stratton fuel pump (597338) — a reliable OEM replacement designed to ensure consistent fuel flow from the tank to the carburettor. This essential component is ideal for restoring proper engine performance on compatible Briggs & Stratton vertical crankshaft engines. 

Product Description:
The 597338 fuel pump is a pulse‑type diaphragm pump engineered to meet Briggs & Stratton’s exact specifications. It draws fuel from the tank and delivers it steadily to the carburettor, helping maintain correct engine fuel supply — especially in applications where the tank is lower than the carburettor or gravity feed alone isn’t sufficient.

Key Features:

• Genuine OEM Quality: Designed and built by Briggs & Stratton for precise fit, durability and reliable performance. 

• Consistent Fuel Delivery: Pulse‑type diaphragm action provides stable fuel flow to reduce hesitation, rough running or hard starts. 

• Direct Replacement: Replaces older part numbers such as 808656 and fits a wide range of Briggs & Stratton vertical crankshaft (10–13 HP) engines used on ride‑on mowers, lawn tractors and other equipment. 

• Fuel‑Resistant Construction: Durable polymer housing and internal components resist gasoline and environmental conditions. 

• Broad Compatibility: Works with many Briggs & Stratton engines that require part 597338 for reliable fuel feed — always verify compatibility with your engine’s model, type and code before installation. 

Why It Matters:
A properly functioning fuel pump is critical for engine performance, helping ensure the carburettor receives the correct amount of petrol under all operating conditions. A failing or clogged pump can lead to poor starts, sputtering under load, stalling or inconsistent running — issues this genuine 597338 unit is designed to address.
