Briggs and Stratton 596163 Vacuum Hose

The title sums it up.

Bought a 4 pack of China clones of this hose, mower still ran poorly after replacement, assumed it was something else. Pulled mower out for tune up before mowing season and China clone was full of cracks and couldn’t get fuel into pump/carb. Ordered real Briggs hose. Started pulling fuel and runs like new again. Now I see why clones are 4 hoses for the price of 1. Last less than 1 season vs original Briggs which the first one lasted 11 years. 30 second install, very easy, wipe off the area around it before removal. remove the old one, pinch the valve cover side to install, work it around with your fingers then line up the fuel pump side. Good to go!

True OEM part. Exact fit. Now the mower engine will start.

Exactly what I was looking for. Easy to install. Worth saving a few dollars instead of buying at the dealer. Put this on my John Deere Z335-E zero turn riding lawn mower. Built just like oem quality. Works just like I need it to.

Had a cracked vacuum tube on my D130 and needed to replace it. This was the correct part to do so. Tractor has been running fine since replacement. Price was a little high for what it is, but cheaper than paying someone to fix it.

Fast delivery and OEM product as described. I was actually looking for a fuel pump vacuum tube for an older machine (2004) which has a shorter straight tube. This one has an offset in it and its longer than I needed. I shortened it and the offset wasn't enough to kink the tube closed so I made it work. Just beware B&S has 3 different part numbers for the same item based on engine age.

I bought this as a replacement fuel pump vacuum (or pulse) hose for a 2011 John Deere Z425 with a Briggs & Stratton engine (engine model 44L7 77 0279 G5). It fits perfectly, no modifications of any kind needed. I had a whale of a time looking this part up - in fact, NO ONE'S parts list had it correct. They all claimed the OEM part 694000 was the hose needed. WRONG. That one is too short, and straight. The Deere parts website listed three possible choices. I ended up having to go by product photos and the specified length. This one was perfect (~3.25 inches long) and has a slight Z bend to it. I used a little spray grease to help the grommet end slide into the valve cover. I added a clamp to the fuel pump end, although I see folks installing without them. Whether you use one or not is your call, I just wanted better assurances that it won't leak. It doesn't, and the fuel pumps like a champ now. I'm very happy with this hose, it is absolutely what I needed.

Installed the fuel suction line on My Briggs and Stratton Vertical shaft Motor and now it has the correct fuel pressure and runs very smooth!
