Vanguard 16 horse carb questions
I have looked up and down on the internets and can not seem to find what I am looking for . Where can I find a jet kit for this carb or if anyone knows what style jets will work. I have alot of jets from other projects. I attached a few pics for reference

Re: Vanguard 16 horse carb questions
I already reamed it out and apparently I went to big . It bogged out at any rpms over idle I have since soldered it up and re drilled it. It isgoing good now but I still want to find a selection of jets to try
I think I found the factory jet . Briggs part #690881 |

Re: Vanguard 16 horse carb questions
Soldered it? Man I wouldn't do that. The solder can come loose and end up in your engine and cause damage. Plus if you drilled it out you are not getting the correct atomization of the fuel. It's not just the size of the hole, but also the shape of it. It might be running, but not the way it was designed.
You're best bet is to order the factory part. Buy only Briggs and Stratton brand parts from an authorized dealer. Otherwise you might not get the correct part or you'll get a cheap china made knockoff that may or may not work. |

Re: Vanguard 16 horse carb questions
I already ordered a new jet . Don't worry about factory or knock off jets because the only jets I could even locate are all factory briggs. I am still not 100%sure I found the right jet but we will see in a few days . The solder was just to run while I tracked down a noise that I believe is the comet 780. I did not run it much.

Re: Vanguard 16 horse carb questions
Solder works, u just put it in the upstream side of the jet, not downstream side.
We did that on a 420 and never an issue, it’ll only fall into the bowl if it ever comes loose. Does a jet hole really matter that much? With an adjustable jet, u get a different shape with the jet and taper of the needle that restricts the fuel amount. |
