Being able to find information about your Briggs and Stratton engines is important when looking for the right parts or just plain doing research. Briggs and Stratton explains how to read the engine codes they stamp on their engines here on this page.

This link shows you how to find the numbers on your engine.

Once you find the correct number, you should be able to obtain parts lists and owner's manuals in pdf form. You may have to try entering your numbers different ways, such as without the spaces shown on the engine.
