How do I remove the carburetor from the fuel tank on my 3.5 hp briggs?

You have to remove the entire tank/carb assy from the engine, then split them.

On vertical crank engines, it's easy - one bolt just in front of the filler, and one on the front of the tank.

On horizontal crank engines, in theory it's easy - 2 manifold bolts and one under the tank, BUT you will find that you can't get to one of the manifold bolts to unscrew it. Briggs make s tool for this, but you may have to make something.
