Where to Locate Your Engine Model

As shown in the Locating Model Type Trim on a Briggs & Stratton Snow Engine video, the engine model number is generally a number stamped into metal directly on your engine. Some snow blower engines come with a cover or "shroud". It should be noted that these covers come in a variety of colors, sizes and shapes. Regardless of your cover the engine model number will be in one of 4 locations:
