Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): B&S 8HP Engine Specs, briggs and stratton, shaft diameter


Question
I have a B&S engine Model 190432, Type 3016-01, Code 910603107.

I was interested in the specs on this engine, specically the output shaft diameter and length, and the distance from the center of the output shaft to the bottem of engine. This is currently in a Billy Goat leave blower, and the engine is blown. I'm looking to replace it with a Honda 8 HP engine.

Answer
Did you check the Briggs and Stratton engine replacement guide?

I am currently deployed and the internet is very slow so I couldn't download the guide.  If the link above does not work just Google "Briggs and Stratton engine replacement guide" and it will take you to the site.

FYI, many engines can be swapped to your machine.  Engine manufactures, as well as equipment manufactures, try to design their products so they are interchangable.  This is why you will find Honda, Briggs, Kohler, Tecumseh, Kawasaki and other engine brands offered on the same equipment.  Often times the Honda and Kawasaki engines are offered as upgrades to Briggs and Kohler engines.

I'm betting you can bolt on any number of engines to your Billy Goat.

Let me know if this helps.
