MODEL/TYPE/CODE

locating your Briggs & Stratton Engine

Model Number

Knowing the model/type/code of your Briggs & Stratton engine will make

it easy to order maintenance or repair parts either online or from your local

dealer. Briggs & Stratton engines power Briggs & Stratton branded equipment

as well as equipment produced by other manufacturers, so you might have

both an equipment model number and an engine model number on your

product. The engine model number is generally a number stamped into metal

directly on your engine. Following is an example of what the engine model/

type/code looks like:
