Hi Ian, Being a Briggs, I would expect to see some form of number string stamped into the metal engine cowl (The metal cover that goes ontop of everything, and has the Briggs stickers)

That number, plus any photo's of the top of the cowl will help work out anything we can about the engine, then we can help you as you work your way throught the repair.

Also, no chance you took any pics of the mower before it was pulled apart?

Cheers
Ty
