Briggs Stratton 497466 Main Jet Carburetor Part

Product Description

The BRIGGS STRATTON 497466 is a main jet designed for use in small engine carburetors. The main jet is a precision-metered orifice component that controls fuel flow through the carburetor under normal operating loads. It is a critical part of the fuel delivery system, ensuring the correct air-fuel mixture reaches the engine. This component is typically installed or replaced by small engine technicians and qualified service professionals during carburetor rebuilds or fuel system repairs.

The 497466 main jet is suited for small engine applications commonly found in lawn and garden equipment. Typical use cases include carburetor service on walk-behind mowers, riding mowers, and other outdoor power equipment powered by BRIGGS STRATTON engines. It is installed during scheduled carburetor maintenance or when diagnosing rich or lean running conditions caused by a worn or damaged jet.

Installation Notes

Main jet replacement is typically performed by a small engine technician during a full carburetor rebuild or targeted fuel system repair. Shut off the fuel supply and allow the engine to cool completely before disassembling the carburetor. Handle the jet carefully to avoid enlarging or deforming the orifice, as any change to the opening size will affect the air-fuel ratio. Follow the equipment manufacturer's service manual for correct torque and reassembly procedures.
