First, locate the model number on the engine. On a B&S engine, the model number is always either stamped or engraved into the metal (It won't be on a sticker anywhere). If the engine is an overhead valve engine, look on the valve cover. Otherwise look near the blower housing. If the blower housing has a plastic cover over it, you may need to remove it first. The model number be a 6-digit number followed by a 4-digit number and a 2 digit number after that.
Example: 123K02-0195-E1
Once you have the model number, you can lookup the diagram. PartsTree has the best parts lookup that I have found (without having to pay). When you go to the PartsTree website, enter the brand and model number on the left side of the screen and click "Go". Then just click "Carburetor". That will bring up an "Exploded Parts View". It doesn't show you how to take it apart or put it back together, but all the parts shown are in the correct position with each other.
If that doesn't work for you, your best bet is to go to your local Briggs dealer. They should be able to print the diagram out for you.
You can go to: http://www.briggsandstratton.com/maint_repair/repair_parts/ Put the model number of the engine you want to see the breakdown for and you should be able to get what you want there.

Go to your local autoparts store and by the rebuild kit according to your carburetor. Inside the box will be an exploded diagram of the carb which will make it relativly simple to rebuild First of all what kind of engine do you have. Briggs and Stratton or Tecumseh. If you have a Briggs & Stratton engine the factory setting on the little black screw is 1 turn out, Tecumseh engines 'usually' do not have adjustments. hope this helps

Engine will overheat and engine will probably sieze
It is a Briggs & Stratton Engine, so get the engine model and try jackssmallengines.com.
A Briggs and Stratton L head twin engine wills pit gas out of the carburetor and flood out when starting if the diaphragm has been damaged. This will cause excessive fuel to enter the carburetor.
My engine is idling too high. How do I adjust the idle speed?

Briggs has a rudimentary wiring diagram for the operation of an electric start engine. see the link below.
Not sure what engine you have but it probably has TBI (throttle body injection) not a carburetor. I think the last year for the carburetor was 1985. Give us more info on the engine.
The vacuum hose diagram should be on a decal somewhere in the engine compartment. jb
