Dear Tim,
This sounds like the sediment/strainer I got from Northern Hydraulic
and tested for maximum flow rate. It was a little bit shy.

There is a thingummy available from Briggs and Stratton called a "glass bowl
cu toff".
It sits directly under the fuel tank, and has a glass sediment bowl of
approximately the size you describe. *It has one input, one output, and a
shutoff valve on... I think it's the input.

The glass bowl cutoff, the replacement glass bowls, and a picture of both of
them can be seen at:http://www.briggs.learnsmallenginere...BScarbkits.htm
The assembly is $10.75, the glass bowl replacement is $5.75.

On the one on my rototiller, the glass bowl is about 1 1/2" in diameter, and
the gasket, instead of an O-ring, is flat, and molded onto fine brass
screen.
The lip on the glass bowl is flat enough that using an O-ring instead
shouldn't be a problem, though.
