Answer
Finding obsolete engine parts can be very difficult.  There are a couple of ways you could go.  First would be a search of craigslist and Google and eBay to see who advertises they have obsolete parts.  I would then send that dealer and e-mail telling him what you would like.

The other way would be to check with after market parts makers like Silver Streak or Stens.   If you haven't already contacted Briggs & Stratton through their website and ask if they would have the obsolete part work would suggest another way of finding it.  Best of luck on your search.
