Where can I find my Briggs & Stratton engine`s horsepower or torque rating? You can find the gross horsepower or torque value labeled on your engine. To find an engine`s horsepower, look for a number with “HP” or “cc.”
Engines are measured by displacement, usually expressed in liters (L) or cubic centimeters (cc). Displacement is the total volume of all the cylinders in an engine. An engine with four cylinders of 569cc each totals 2276cc, and will be rounder off and referred to as a 2.3 liter engine.
Engine size is the volume of fuel and air that can be pushed through a car`s cylinders and is measured in cubic centimetres (cc). Car engine sizes are normally specified in litres, which is rounded up to the nearest tenth of a litre. For example, a car that has a 1390cc engine would be described as a 1.4 litre.
Engines on most outdoor power equipment operate well with 5W30 Synthetic oil. For equipment operated in hot temperatures, Vanguard 15W50 Synthetic oil provides the best protection.
Use Briggs & Stratton SAE 30W Oil above 40°F (4°C) for all of our engines. Check oil level regularly. Air-cooled engines burn about an ounce of oil per cylinder, per hour. Fill to mark on dipstick.
The short answer is yes, you can use 20w50 oil in a lawnmower but results may vary.
How Do I Identify a Briggs & Stratton Engine? The Model, Type and Code numbers, stamped directly into the engine, are used to identify our engines. Engines used in lawn mower applications usually have the model numbers stamped directly into the blower housing, muffler heat shield, or a few inches above the spark plug.

The bar bolts are stripped, how do i take off and replace them?
ANSWER : You might be able to drill out the old bolts in the saw and blade, then rethread to the next metric size up, if the screws are inside the housing. If the bolts go all the way thru, just get them removed the best way you can and then drill out to the next metric size, I’m saying use the next metric size because they usually have the next size bigger than SAE but in between the two SAE sizes. I hope that’s not confusing to you and I hope that I at least give you some ideas.
