IMPORTANT!
Read these instructions carefully before operating this Engine
for the first time.
Guessing how to run it, may cause you unnecessary inconvenience,
aggravation, or failure to receive the fine service that is built into it.
There is a right way to operate this Engine. This book tells
you how.
Each Engine is carefully tested and adjusted at the factory before
packing for shipment, and if correctly operated will perform beyond
your expectations.
DO NOT START THIS ENGINE UNTIL YOU HAVE READ
CAREFULLY THE INSTRUCTIONS ON PREPARING THE
ENGINE, PAGE 3.
For Maintenance Adjustments, see pages 6 to 9.
If you have difficulty in operating your engine and you need outside help,
contact your dealer or nearest member of our Authorized Service Organization.
See back cover.
Briggs & Stratton manufactured only the engine on your powered equipment.
For other service or parts, write to the manufacturer of the complete equipment
or see the dealer from whom purchased.
CAUTION !
1. PROVIDE EFFICIENT VENTILATION. Exhaust gases
contain carbon monoxide which is odorless and a deadly poison.
Proper care must be taken to provide efficient ventilation.
2. DO NOT FILL GASOLINE TANK WHILE ENGINE
IS RUNNING. Avoid spilling gasoline on a hot engine —
this may cause an explosion and serious injury.
3. KEEP ENGINE CLEAN. This engine is air-cooled. If cool-
ing system becomes clogged, serious damage may result. There-
fore, keep the blower screen, fins on flywheel, cylinder head and
block free from grass or dirt.
GENERAL INFORMATION
This engine is a single cylinder, L-Head air-cooled type; bore 2%e" and stroke
\Vl". It is rated at:
1.28 H.P. at 2200 R.P.M. 1.90 H.P. at 3200 R.P.M.
1.71 H.P. at 2800 R.P.M. 2.00 H.P. at 3600 R.P.M.
The horsepower ratings listed above are established by standard I.CJE.I. pro-
cedures. For practical operation, the horsepower loading should not exceed
85 per cent of these ratings. Engine power will decrease 3Vi per cent for each
1,000 feet above sea level, and 1 per cent for each 10 degrees above 60 degrees F.

PREPARATION OF ENGINE
BEFORE STARTING
Fill Oil Sump With OH
Remove the oil filler plug located on the
base of the oil sump. Use screwdriver
oi bar.
Place the engine level. Pour oil in the
opening until it rises to the top of the
filler opening. Replace the filler plug.
Screw it down tight.
For temperatures 32° and above use Mobiloil Arctic (S.A.E. No. 20) or equal.
For temperatures below 32° use Mobiloil 10W (S.A.E. No. 10W) or equal.
Put Oil In Air Cleaner
Air cleaner protects engine from
grit and dirt. Use the same oil
as in the crankcase. Remove
wing nut. Lift out filter element.
Pour in oil to "oil level" mark
at end of arrows. Replace ele-
ment and wing nut. Be sure
gaskets are in place. See inset.
Fill Fuel Tank
Use a good grade of regular, clean, fresh gasoline such as Mobilgas. Never use gasoline
that has been standing in a can for several months as gum may form under such conditions
and clog the carburetor, fuel tank, etc. See that vent hole in cap is open. DO NOT
MIX OIL WITH GASOLINE.

STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
Engines stored any length of time should
be completely drained of fuel to prevent
gum deposits forming on essential parts
such as the carburetor, fuel filter, fuel
lines, and tank.
Such deposits may affect the operation of
the engine when again used. Therefore,
it is important that the following instruc-
tions be adhered to before storing the
engine:
a. Remove fuel tank drain plug. Open
fuel valve. Drain tank completely.
b. Operate engine until it stops from
exhaustion of fuel to clean gasoline out
of carburetor.
c. While the engine is still warm, drain
and clean the crankcase. Refill with fresh
oil.
d. Replace fuel tank drain plug.
e. Leave fuel valve open.
f. Remove spark plug, pour one ounce
of S.A.E. No. 20 oil into cylinder and
crank slowly to spread oil. Replace
spark plug.
g. Clean dirt and chaff from cylinder and
cylinder head fins, blower housing, etc.
MAINTENANCE ADJUSTMENTS
Draining Fuel Tank and Cleaning Fuel Filter
1. Close Fuel Valve
2. Remove Fuel
Tank Drain Plug
3* Detach Fuel Pipe

Set idle speed adjusting screw
until engine idles at 1750 R.P.M. Hold throttle in idle position. Turn idle valve in or
out until engine picks up speed and runs smoothly. Then again reset idle speed adjusting
screw to bring engine to 1750 R.P.M. idling speed. Release throttle. Engine should
accelerate without hesitation or sputtering. If it does not accelerate properly, the
needle valve should be reset, usually to a richer mixture.

Governor Adjustments
The correct operating speed range is 2600 to 3600 R.P.M. The standard speed setting
(no load) is 3300 R.P.M. Idle speed is 1750 R.P.M.
SPEED CONTROL
There are two different types of speed controls on these engines.
1 . Control Lever Mounted On
Cylinder
To change speed of engine loosen screw
holding governor control lever. Move
lever to the RIGHT to increase speed
and to the LEFT to decrease speed.
Tighten screw. Governor link should al-
ways be in hole No. 4 of the throttle
lever of carburetor. Spring should be in
hole No. 1 of throttle lever.
2. Hand Governor Control
To change speed of engine move lever to
the LEFT to increase speed and to the
RIGHT to decrease speed. Governor link
should always be in hole No. 4 and spring
in hole No. 1 of throttle lever on carbu-
retor.
Remote Governor Confrof
Engine speed is controlled by movement
of the control lever as shown. Move re-
mote control lever to HIGH speed posi-
tion. Loosen screw on swivel. Move wire
through swivel until desired operating
speed is obtained. Retighten swivel screw,
bend loose end of wire around swivel.
Cut off excess wire.
To Check Spark Plug Gap
Spark plug is 14mm (USE CHAMPION
J-8 OR EQUIVALENT). Keep a fresh
plug on hand. Clean and reset the gap
at .025" every 100 hours of operation.
Use some graphite grease on threads when
replacing spark plug.
MAINTENANCE ADJUSTMENTS
To Adjust and Clean Contact Points
LEFT HAND
THREAD
To Remove Flywheel
Rope Starter
Remove the blower housing. Bolt or
clamp the engine to a workbench. Hold
the power take-off end of crankshaft to
prevent rotation, or use Flywheel Holder
61741-T19. Use a large wrench 10" or
longer. Turn the nut to the RIGHT until
loosened.
Recoil Starters
Same as above, except turn clutch housing
to left. (Right-hand thread.)
Never Try to Pry Off Flywheel
After removing nut, washer and pulley,
loosen flywheel by using Flywheel Puller
No. 293596. Pull off flywheel. Save key.
To Remove Flywheel With Flywheel Puller
Blower housing, flywheel, and
magneto point dust cover
must be removed. Points
must be clean and line up
squarely to make good con-
tact. Do not file points — use
fine sandpaper or hone to
dress the points. Turn the
crankshaft until points open
to widest gap, or until keyway
on crankshaft lines up with
the plunger. Tighten the con-
denser clamp screw. Move
condenser forward or back-
ward with screwdriver until
gap of .020" is obtained. If
either or both points become
badly pitted or burned, replace
with complete new Contact
Point Bracket and Condenser.
HOLD POWER TAKE-OFF
END OF CRANKSHAFT
Screw the nut back on shaft until it is
flush with threads. Fasten flywheel puller
to flywheel by screwing two self-tapping
screws into holes provided in flywheel.
Turn down the two nuts gradually until
flywheel is loosened. Pull off flywheel.
Save key.
MAINTENANCE ADJUSTMENTS (Cont'd)
To Reassemble Flywheel
Clean flywheel hole and tapered end of crankshaft thoroughly. Place flywheel on
crankshaft and align keyways. Insert and push it securely into place. If key is
partially sheared or damaged replace with a new key (Part No. 61760). This is a soft
metal key. Do not use steel key. Assemble pulley and spring washer with the hollow
side next to pulley. Put on nut. Hold power take-off end of crankshaft and draw nut
up tight with a wrench. Replace blower housing.

HOW TO FIND THE CORRECT NUMBER
OF THE PART YOU NEED
a. Make a note of your engine MODEL AND TYPE NUMBER (not the Serial
number) that appears on the metal nameplate attached to blower housing.
b. Refer to pages illustrating parts and locate the Master Part Number by com-
paring your old part with illustrations. Assemblies include all part numbers shown
in frames in illustration. All parts shown in assembly frames on which part
numbers are given can be purchased separately.
c. After the Master Part Number has been identified, refer to the following
Parts List where these Master Part Numbers are listed in numerical order.
THE MASTER PART IS USED ON ALL TYPES OF ENGINES EXCEPT
THOSE TYPES LISTED UNDER "NOTE."
d. If a "Note" appears below the Master Part Number, this means that this
part is made differently from the Master Part for certain types, and if your type
is listed under "Note" order the part referred to.
e. If your Engine Type Number does not appear after any part number listed
under "Note," order the Master Part Number.
f. When ordering parts — or writing for service information — always specify
the MODEL NUMBER — TYPE NUMBER — and SERIAL NUMBER of your
engine.
g. All parts should be ordered from the nearest member of our Nation-wide
Service Organization. (See back cover.) In ordering parts by mail, selling
