799727 698620 Carburetor for Briggs & Stratton 14hp 15hp 16hp 17hp 18hp Intek Engine, Fits Craftsman LT1000 IT3000 YTS3000 Lawn Tractor, Replace 791886 495935 690194 with Air Filter Fuel Filter

What It Is

This is a complete carburetor assembly (part #799727/698620) for Briggs & Stratton Intek single-cylinder engines (14hp–18hp), commonly found on Craftsman LT1000, IT3000, and YTS3000 lawn tractors. It replaces OEM part numbers 791886, 495935, and 690194, and includes an air filter and fuel filter.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your engine model number (stamped on the valve cover or blower housing). This carburetor fits Briggs & Stratton Intek engines with a 1-inch shaft and vertical shaft orientation, typically 14hp to 18hp. It does not fit twin-cylinder Intek or non-Intek engines. Also verify your mower deck size—this carburetor is standard on 42-inch to 54-inch decks, but deck size alone isn’t a guarantee. Measure the carburetor mounting bolt spacing (center-to-center) to ensure it matches your intake manifold. The included air filter and fuel filter are generic; they may not match the exact dimensions of your original, so check the filter housing and fuel line diameter before installing.

Key Things to Know

• Aftermarket quality: This is a budget aftermarket carburetor, not OEM. It may need minor adjustment (idle speed screw) and can have slightly different jetting than original. Expect to tweak the fuel mixture screw for smooth idle and full throttle.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need to remove the old carburetor, transfer the throttle and choke linkages, and ensure the fuel line fits the included filter. The gasket included may be thin; use a thin coat of gasket sealer if it leaks.
• Common gotchas: The included air filter element may be too small or too large for your housing—check fit before installing. The fuel filter may have different barb sizes; if it doesn’t seal, reuse your original filter. Also, the carburetor bowl drain screw can be loose—tighten it after installation.
• Performance: It’s a direct replacement for a clogged or worn carburetor. Don’t expect better power or efficiency than OEM—it’s a fix, not an upgrade.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if your 14hp–18hp Intek engine runs rough, won’t idle, or won’t start due to a gummed-up carburetor, and you’re comfortable with minor adjustments. It’s a cheap, quick fix for a common problem. Skip it if you want OEM reliability, have a twin-cylinder Intek, or prefer a carburetor that’s a perfect bolt-on with no tuning.
