* Model numbers are complex: Briggs & Stratton uses complex model numbers that contain information about the engine's features, but not always horsepower.
* Horsepower varies: Engines within the same model series can have different horsepower outputs. This depends on factors like:
* Displacement: The size of the engine's cylinder.
* Governor type: How the engine controls its speed.
* Specific application: Engines designed for different uses (lawnmowers, generators, etc.) might have different horsepower ratings.
How to Find the Horsepower:
1. Check the engine's label: The engine's horsepower rating should be listed on a label attached to the engine.
2. Look at the engine's manual: If you have the engine's manual, it will have the horsepower rating.
3. Contact Briggs & Stratton: You can contact Briggs & Stratton directly with the model number, and they can provide the horsepower rating.
Please note: Providing a specific horsepower rating without more information would be misleading.
