Easy and inexpensive fix for portable generator

I have a Briggs & Stratton 5500W portable generator (engine number 21T2020121G1, carburetor 796321). The carburetor was leaking gas very badly, and it had leaked into the crankcase, which contained more gas than oil. Since I did not know specifically what was wrong with the old carburetor, rather than mess with trying to rebuild the carburetor, I bought this replacement. It was pretty easy to install. I also bought the E5 Torx bit, but a regular 4mm Hex bit would probably work. After replacing the carburetor and the oil, it started on the 3rd pull and runs great!

Pros
  • Patio, Lawn & Garden
Cons
  • Poor durability and longevity compared to other carburetors
