Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Lazy Boy Tiller, overhead valve engines, briggs stratton engine

Question
I have a used Lazy Boy Tiller 3.5 with a Briggs & Stratton engine.  I need to purchase some replacement carburator parts, however I can't figure out what model of B&S it has, the paint area where it was imprinted is old and tarnished and unreadable.  I can't even for certain say what model # the tiller is, although it does have the number 1985770 in very fine print on the Lazy Boy sticker.

Thanks,
Amber

Hello Amber:

>>The Model Numbers are Stamped Into the Blower Housing (metal engine cover) Above the Spark Plug. Many horizontal shaft, overhead valve engines have these numbers stamped into the OHV rocker cover. However, on certain overhead valve powered generators, the equipment manufacturer installs a decorative chrome rocker cover OVER the Briggs cover. If your engine has a decorative cover, it may be necessary to remove it in order to locate the Model, Type, and Code. >>You can Also Use this Site Addy; http://www.briggsandstratton.com/maint_repair/BS_modeltypecode.pdf for Assistance in Locating the Model, Type and Code Numbers of the Engine.
