The engine
has BS stamped in the front cover, and by the looks of the head
bolts, it's part of the 23, 230000, 240000, 300000, and 320000
engine families. It seems to have some form of two piece Flo-Jet.
It also comes equiped with a small oil-bath air cleaner. 10/6/2002: I finally figured out that it's a Briggs & Stratton model 23 engine after another fellow showed that I had done the math wrong for the displacement (I figured 14cu/in instead of 23), and with that I was able to track down the engine model based on the displacement and ignition system. I have scanned a copy of the parts list for this engine in PDF form here. |
