Where can I find the model and serial number on my Briggs & Stratton engine?

The model and serial number on a Briggs & Stratton engine can typically be found in several locations on the engine itself. One common place to look is on the engine's identification label, which is usually affixed to the valve cover or the engine shroud. It is often located on the side or the rear of the engine and may be a metal or plastic label. If the engine is installed on equipment, it may be necessary to tilt or move the equipment slightly to have a clear view of the engine's information. In some cases, the numbers may be printed directly on the engine block itself. If you are having difficulty locating the model and serial number, a review of the owner’s manual for your specific engine model may provide additional guidance. The manual often contains diagrams and specific details about where to find important information such as these numbers. For further assistance, visiting the official Briggs & Stratton website could offer valuable resources.
