Briggs 5hp Female Fuel Line Connector

[mxcarne]

I need to pick up a replacement female adapter that hooks into the motor. Are these pretty much universal or am I going to need to go directly to briggs for a replacement?

I'm not sure there are any "Briggs Guru's" here, but if you post up a pic of the fitting, someone should be able to identify it. What is there, something like 4-5 different (maybe a couple more) marine fuel line quick disconnects?

FWIW, I wouldn't buy a Mallory quick disconnect fitting. I bought one and it only lasted a couple trips before the Oring inside it failed. Luckily, I had the old fitting on board and swapped it back over, problem fixed with the old part

Looks like standard johnny-rude stuff, to me.

Re: Briggs 5hp Female Fuel Line Connector

local news say's briggs is closing a plant in tenn. or KY and one over across the big pond & bringing the jobs back to the US consolidated in another Tenn or KY plant, maybe parts will be easer to get for your lawnmower on a stick outboard

Just found this thread and I was wondering the same thing. I hope one of those fits cause I'm wanting to get my boat going soon.

I picked up a Johnson fitting on clearance at wally world, it fits on there. As far as if it's functional, I need to wait till its a little nicer out to fun fuel through it.

Comparing the fitting on the motor to the brass Johnson fittings you can pick up in the store, they are spot on identical to my eye. I bet you could even swap the fitting on the motor the way its built.

Re: Briggs 5hp Female Fuel Line Connector

I'm gonna try to pick one up today. I just bought my motor from my brother and the only thing he didn't have was the fitting and hose for it. I gotta get oil and a hew plug just to be on the safe side.

I am a lowly little space cadet, but if it is like the one on a Kingfisher, you can probably find one at Academy, if you have one in your neck of the woods.

Re: Briggs 5hp Female Fuel Line Connector

I found one at our local Wal-mart yesterday. I paid $5 for it, it works great.

Re: Briggs 5hp Female Fuel Line Connector

Awesome now I feel a little better about the whole deal. Where you able to get a plug too?

Re: Briggs 5hp Female Fuel Line Connector

I didn't think to get a plug for it yet. I'm getting one today though, I just cleaned the old one up and made sure it had fire.

Re: Briggs 5hp Female Fuel Line Connector

Just in case someone stumbles across this thread again: I finally gave up on Briggs, who wanted to sell me the full fuel-line assembly for $130 (a lot to pay for a failed o-ring). The guy at the local marine dealer told me that the fitting is unique to Briggs (I had already tried an Evinrude; not even close). At his suggestion, I swapped out both connectors for a set from Mercury (I am in their backyard here in Wisconsin) and eight minutes later was out on the water. The motor has given me a lot of misery - had to open the lower case to tighten up reverse, have swapped out the rev limiter, etc. Bah.

that makes the old Eska look pretty good

Is this true for this motor or does an evinrude/johnson work? I have recently came across one of these and want to use it but the female adapter on the fuel line at the motor leaks. Everything I have seen it looks as though it is the same as i see for the evinrudes. It seems others have used that and it works and I am just trying to verify it.

UPDATE:
103 for new complete line from BS. which is BS!!

I tried the Evinrude and it leaked. I bought a set (male and female) of Merc fittings and they work fine. But this year I needed to replace all the fuel lines in the motor. Two years ago I swapped out the rev limiter, and also had to go deep into the linkage to get reverse working again. It is a fine motor when it is running, but it has been high maintenance.

I was able to get the male fuel connector off the motor and I cannot find one that has the hose nipple on the end, all of the ones I seen have NPT 1/4 inch thread on the end that goes to the motor fuel line. I am thinking maybe that is what the marine guy you talked may be talking about because I have yet to see the male side with a barb male hose connection. Did the mariner fit back to the original spot that the B&S one did? If so any part number for it?

The connection part that goes to the female for the gas tank looks to be like the ones I see online. The female connector has V7412B on it which if looking at the some of the connector charts out there may be a mercury/yamaha connector type B. This says it is for motors from 1998 and newer. The connector does look very similar to this. I am going to take both to the local marina and see what i can come up with.

Re: Briggs 5hp Female Fuel Line Connector

Well went to wally world and found a female evinrude connector. Even though it is not exactly the same it works and did not leak. At low speed it ran great but at higher speeds it seemed to struggle for gas. The spark plug looked somewhat fouled and the fuel filter has never been changed so maybe that is the issue. Other than being a bit loud when running and it does vibrate a bit we cruised around the lake in the coleman crawdad with no problems. I am going to do a spark plug and fuel filter today then see what happens.

What was cool is that the lake we went to had one of these on a rental boat. He said he liked it a lot and has had very little issues with it.

Re: Briggs 5hp Female Fuel Line Connector

On mine, The PO, swaped over to a OMC fitting, because a OMC female fit just fine and dident leak.
