Briggs carb cleaning/rebuild

1948man · 10-16-2009, 08:56 AM

New guy here. Anybody know of a link to a "how to" tutorial on cleaning Briggs carbs etc. I think there is trash in mine. It runs decent at operating rpms but idles rough and smells a little stinky. A mechanic told me Seafoam is good in the gas but once actual trash gets in a jet you have to manually clean it.
