In this video I will show you how to clean the carb on a Briggs10hp. This is a Nikki carb.
Here is a good walk-through for repairs. The site seems like it has a few bugs. I can't post the direct link to the articles because the pictures don't come through for me and I don't want to give you something that isn't beneficial.
Cleaning the carburetor is a good starting point. There is two versions the Briggs that were used on this mower. One had a single barrel and the other had a two barrel version. Both were Nikki carburetor that main jets that are held in place by tiny o-ring that shrink causing the jets to leak extra fuel causing surging.
You can get a breakdown of the carburetor on a parts website like partstree.com by entering the model number off the engine, and picking the appropriate type number, and selecting the carburetor and you will get an illustrated parts diagram which includes and exploded view of the carburetor.
You need to determine if you have a Nikki or Walbro carb. The Nikki bowl is held on by two phillips head screws and the Walbro bowl is secured by either a single bowl nut or a anti-backfire soleniod (two wires going to it). Your problem is probably the seat in the carburetor. We see very few float problems since most of them are plastic.
If you have a Walbro with the anti-backfire solenoid you will need to get a slim 1/2 open end wrenc the access the "flats" on the solenoid to unscrew it.
The brass seat is replaceable in the Walbro along with the needle. If it's a Nikki, you may need to replace the carburetor.
