There is a thingummy available from Briggs and Stratton called a "glass bowl
cutoff".
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:

The assembly is $10.75, the glass bowl replacement is $5.75.


Wouldn't it be easier to drill out one of these for better flow rather
than making one from scratch?

YES! The one in the photo is larger than the one I tested. On the
one I had the bowl came to more of a point and the doohicky holding it
on was made up of four wires and a screw rather than the straps as
shown in the picture.
