Please Note: If the model & type numbers on your Briggs & Stratton engine are only 9 characters, please enter a 0 (zero) at the beginning of the model number.
Does the number you have look like this? If not, locate the correct number by following instructions in Step 2.
Step 2: Locate the Model Number
As shown in the Where to Find Your Engine Model Number video below, the engine model number is generally a number stamped into metal directly on your engine.
Some 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 5 locations:
