How Do I Identify a Briggs & Stratton Engine?

The Model, Type and Code numbers, stamped directly into the engine, are used to identify our engines. Engines used in lawn mower applications usually have the model numbers stamped directly into the blower housing, muffler heat shield, or a few inches above the spark plug. Depending on the style of engine shroud used, the engine code numbers may be covered. It may be necessary to remove this shroud in order to locate the Model, Type, and Code for engine identification.

To get step-by-step instructions on finding your engine model number, type or code, watch this short video:

Additional Model, Type, and Code location videos, grouped by the type of equipment the engine powers,are also available below:

Where Can I Find the Model Numbers, Type & Codes on OHV Generator Engines?

Many horizontal shaft, overhead valve engines have the serial and model numbers stamped into the OHV rocker cover. However, on certain overhead valve powered generators, the equipment manufacturer installs a decorative chrome rocker cover OVER our cover. If your engine has a decorative cover, it may be necessary to remove it in order to locate the model number, type, and engine code.

I.D. Letters.

With apologies for the poor quality, we have reproduced this list directly from the original manuals. As this is an important source of information we hope you find it useful. As an added feature I have retyped a table supplied by Ian Talmage, based on the original info, I hope it might be easier to read and maybe have extra info available. When I am satisfied all my gremlins are out of it and I have added as much as I can, I might delete the first one, but at the moment I leave both, as the first one came direct from the horses mouth, so to speak, British Seagull.

Scan right down to the bottom of the page for the latest edition. I think these tables are about as correct as I can get them, I will remove the originals at some time, when I'm sure!

In 1980 Electronic ignitions were installed, engines having the E prefix from that date.

In the numbers below, for early years, some of the numbers do not appear to make sense. For instance in 1933 the numbers appear to run backwards, or should 300 be 800?

In 1934 the Super model OF the use of a ')' symbol appears. As I have seen this motor and it has the number 'O' instead, it looks as if a typist simply pressed the ')' instead of the '0', by hitting shift at the same time. The use of the number '0' in all the previous models tends to bear this out. There may well be other typo's in these numbers, but they are as good as it gets folks!

I have just had a little snippet from Charles Palfreeman in Poole. his research has added another letter to a few of the motors. August 06.

The FVP and FV motors had the factory option for a while, of a lifting or pivoting tiller. the engine was suffixed with a 'T' and a bent bracket fixed to the crankcase, to pivot the tiller on. the for runner to the casting! Well Found Charles. I have checked and yes, the two I have confirm it!

The Little Forty models. There is the model LM missing from the letter codes, fore runner to the SJM I believe. See the Little Forty's page for more. March 2007, I have had it confirmed that the 'F' did exist, I have seen one, thanks to Mike Williams for showing it to me!

The use of the letter 'W' in the dating codes.

For a long time I suspected it was not a 'W' but in fact an inverted 'M', and yes I have seen a few, but new light has dawned, from Frank Arnold. It seems they did in the early 1970's fit a number of 102's with 'Wipac' ignitions and they had the letter 'W' added with the year.. they did not do it for long as it was not a very useful exercise, after all you could see the darn thing had a wipac if you looked at it and you did not know what month it was built.. I have found several of these now and had a dozen or more reported to me, but recently I turned up another upside down 'M' so you have to look carefuly!

The Marston Seagulls start here:-

Below the letters and numbers for the Little Forty models. the 'F' was used, have seen one now and also there was an 'LM'.

Below is the updated list.

My grateful thanks to Ian for the time taken in sorting this out and donating it to the site for all to read.

Engine - Letter Code - for Month/Year Manufactured

Model Identification - Month & Year Defined

From 1963 a letter and number code is used at the end of the engine number to denote the month and year of manufacture.

The letter indicates the month and the number the year of manufacture, i.e. A3 = January 1963, B3 = February 1963, etc., and M3 = December 1963 (the letter L is not used in this code sequence).

From 1973 two letters were used in the code to indicate the month, i.e. AA3 = January 1973, BB3 = February 1973, and MM3 = December 1973. Therefore identification of a model and date of manufacture can be found as follows: WSPCL 1734 BB3.

WSPCL indicates this is a long shaft Silver Century Plus. 1734 is the production number and BB3 indicates that it was manufactured in February 1973.

The above table is still not 100% as the letters N were not used every year, December being M, so one can assume another letter was used somewhere. As it was not supposed to be 'L', that only leaves 'I'. However I have never seen one stamped with 'I' or 'II', looks too much like a numeral.. Need to look through a few hundred crankcases to figure this one out..

Model Identification - Letter Definitions

Some of the letters in the engine lettering code stand for different parts of the particular models. Below is a list of some of the letter meanings:

Engine - Letter Code - for Early Models, including the Marston Seagulls.

The question Marks mean the numbers either were missing or do not make sense. For instance the 1933 engine numbers seem to indicate just a few motors were made, or is the 3 really an 8? Which would make sense. However what happened to 1932? Lumped in with 1933 maybe? No one will tell me, no one seems to know. I hope shortly to get a definitive list of Early British Seagull Models, from the first Model 'A' to the first British Seagull 102's. I will create a special page just for the Marstons and transfer all the info on them to it. As far as we can gather, from the motors surviving, not many were indeed made, maybe as few as 1,000. John

The 1949 to 50's Model 'F' was doubted for a while, but in March 2007 I had pics of one sent in by Mike Williams. I was right not to doubt the British Seagull info! John

Throughout the years above various codes were used during each year, ie F, FV, FVP, LM, LS, SJM, SJP. The years codes start with the first motor of whatever sort, that was made. Obviously the FV and FVP ceased in about 1953, the LS in !957. Strangely the LS and the SJP overlapped for 2 years. but then the 102 production went on till 1977, alongside the Centuries..

Throughout the years above all the codes were used each year, ie LLS, CP, CPC. The years codes start with the first motor of whatever sort, that was made.

Somehow the following table became very confused. Ian has given me a template here in which to hang the numbers, but sadly mine were all muddled, I have redone this table several times. Hopefully it is now correct. The Model codes AC AD, TD, TC, etc, all seemed to run together. Whichever motor type was the first out of the factory in any year, is the code seen as the start number and code for the year. The numbers just keep on adding up as the years go by, till they were getting unwieldy, thus the introduction of the date system in 1963. Recently research by others has revealed all sorts of anomalies that I had wondered about. Seems British Seagulls made quite a lot of other motors that did not appear in the official lists. We are slowly getting more info on them, but of course it is conflicting.. John

(The Model 102 carried on in production till 1977 at least, I have proof that they were making 'one off batches' into the 1980's, with electronic ignitions! when I sort all those numbers, I will add them.) 'EDL'was one of the numbers found

Sealed box British Seagulls can be recognised by an extra screw in the gear box casing just above the top gearbox cap screw. This screw secures the bearing assembly.

Below is a table featuring the Forty and Century models, with hp, approx and type of gearbox oil. this must be used with caution as there is no guarantee that your British Seagull has not been altered over the years..

Give away for the sealed gearboxes is an extra screw just above the cap screws, this secures the bevel bearing and seal.

There has been much argument about power output, these figures are as close to the claimed truth as I can make them! The real truth is the power heads produced a lot less, but the gearing gave the thrust equivalent to motors of the claimed power! See the note about the Trade's Description Act! John

Engine - Fuel Mixture Ratios

In the very early years there were motors running on 8:1, 10:1 and even 16:1, as has been found on tank decals of these old motors. These are the 'oddballs' though, the vast majority of the 3 million motors made ran on 10:1 mix.

The following should be considered when determining the right fuel mixture ratio for your engine: (information reproduced from a 1991 service manual No. 27)

Grade of Oil to be used. Only use two stroke oil for outboards. It must be for outboards, not lawn mowers or chainsaw, motor bikes or snow cats! Use TCW 2 or 3 grade. This is important as the oil is designed to lubricate at the low temperatures that British Seagull run at.Jim stengel grow book pdf.

25:1 PETROL/OIL RATIO

All motors manufactured from January 1978 are designed to operate on a 25:1 petrol (gas)/oil ratio.

Motors manufactured from 1968 to January 1978 can satisfactorily use this ratio, providing the following modifications can be made. Prior to 1968 a shorter bearing was used in the crankcase and it is unsuitable for too lean an oil mix. See FAQ page! The Amal 2 jet needs the main jet changing to a No. 40. The Villiers needs a replacement needle, No.2, sadly these are no longer generally available.

August 06, I have 25:1 needles in stock again!! (they have now no number on them at all!)

See the FAQ page for other ways of reducing the oil mix on villiers carbs.
