Problem solved

Since I have done before it was an easy task. However this time to make sure float was placed correctly I decide to removed the carburetor installed the float and washer and put the carburetor back in place and the air filter and cover.

Briggs& Stratton motor 190cc on craftsman brand mower
1. Removed rope pull mechanism cover air breather. several 5/16 hex screws
2. Removed springs from carburetor choke mechanism.
3. Removed fuel line and fuel tank used 3/8 bolt to plug fuel line. Drained carb into cup.
3. Removed engine cover to have access to auto choke and carburetor.
4. Removed carburetor two bolts.
5. Removed carburetor float bowl,float and needle.
6. Removed existing rubber seat below needle. used e-part number kit 398188 (see e-part diagram).
7. Reassembled all parts. added Fresh Non-Ethanol gas. Runs as good as when it was new. No more surging. No other adjustments needed. Thanks e-replacement parts!

Took bolt out put new seals in put bolt back in.

Put the new gasket on the float bowl and installed it with the new bolt.

Tripped head off, inspected all parts, cleaned carburetor bowl while I had it off the engine.
I checked to make sure head and cylinder surface wasn't warped, de-carboned piston top and head. Re-assembled.
This type of repair is pretty straight forward.
If your new to this, keep nuts and bolts organized, and it goes easy!!
