Carburetor Identification
for
Early Briggs & Stratton Engines

Back to Briggs Index Page.
|
This document pictures many of the carburetors used on
Briggs & Stratton engines up until about 1950 and the engine models where
they were used. There were some variations on these carburetors and many of the
engines used more than one type. Hopefully this listing will take care of most
circumstances. The Carburetor type numbers are arbitrary and are for
differentiation only.
You can browse through the pictures or click on the Briggs & Stratton

engine. |
