Hi again codeman, a picture of the machine in question is required, before we can give good advice...otherwise we are flying blind on just a model name...There are so many model variances that it is nigh on impossible without some pics from various angles, including the engine...if it turns out to be a Briggs and Stratton, please post the
complete string of numbers stamped into the air cowling, and we can supply the date of manufacture of the said engine; if it is a Victa, our Victa gurus may be able to help with the engine number stamped on the crack-case to narrow down a date.

History might then be forthcoming.
