iFJF 799727 Replacement Carburetor — Briggs & Stratton Intek 14-18HP
When your riding mower's carburetor is beyond rebuilding — clogged beyond cleaning, corroded bodies, or warped from ethanol damage — a full replacement is faster, easier, and often more cost-effective than rebuilding. The iFJF 799727 carburetor is a direct bolt-on replacement for Briggs & Stratton Intek engines in the 14HP to 18HP range, pre-adjusted at the factory for reliable out-of-the-box performance.
Key Features & Benefits
Direct OEM Replacement
Engineered to match Briggs & Stratton part numbers 799727, 698620, 791886, 690194, and 499153. No modifications, no adapter plates — unbolt the old carb and bolt this one on. All mounting holes, fuel line connections, and linkage points match the OEM layout exactly.
Pre-Adjusted from the Factory
Each carburetor is pre-set for the correct air-fuel mixture and idle speed before packaging. In most cases, you can install it and start mowing within the hour. Minor idle-speed fine-tuning may be needed for your specific engine, but major adjustments are rarely required.
Complete with Gaskets & Fuel Filter
Includes all mounting gaskets and an inline fuel filter — everything you need in one box. The fuel filter catches debris before it reaches your new carburetor, protecting your investment from day one.

Installation Guide
-
Disconnect the battery and remove the spark plug wire for safety.
- Remove the air filter housing and disconnect the fuel line. Have a rag ready to catch fuel drips.
- Disconnect the governor linkage, choke linkage, and throttle cable from the old carburetor. Take a photo for reference.
- Remove the two carburetor mounting bolts and lift off the old carburetor. Clean the mounting surface.
- Install the new carburetor with the supplied gaskets. Tighten mounting bolts evenly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this carburetor fit my Craftsman LT2000?
If your Craftsman LT2000 has a Briggs & Stratton Intek engine in the 14-18HP range and the original carburetor part number matches one of the cross-references listed (799727, 698620, etc.), this carburetor will fit. Always verify your engine model number before ordering.
Is this carburetor ready to run out of the box?
Yes. It comes pre-adjusted from the factory. Install it, connect the linkages, and start the engine. You may want to fine-tune the idle speed screw after the engine warms up, but major mixture adjustments are typically not needed.
Does this include the fuel solenoid?
The carburetor includes the fuel solenoid mounting port. If your original carburetor had an anti-afterfire solenoid, you can transfer it from the old carburetor to this one. A new solenoid is not included.
What's the difference between rebuilding and replacing?
Rebuilding works well for carbs that are dirty but structurally sound. Replacement is better when the carburetor body is corroded, the throttle shaft bore is worn (causing vacuum leaks), or internal passages are permanently clogged. At iFJF's price point, replacement is often the more reliable long-term solution.
Do I need any special tools?
Basic hand tools are all you need: a socket set (typically 1/2" and 7/16"), flathead and Phillips screwdrivers, and needle-nose pliers for linkage clips. A can of carburetor cleaner is helpful for cleaning the mounting surface.
