Anyone interested in this subject, I think the article needs more technical info on particular model numbers. I ended up here because I have an engine model number to identify, and the Briggs website is frankly unhelpful at letting me guesss what the illegible model number actually reads. So a more complete list would help. Sandpiper 10:46, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Did I miss something? I'm looking for help with some problems. Not history or some company blowing it's own horn. How about some trouble shooting, or Q&A? Or would that be dry reading? Robert Riddiford

[edit] Nuetrality of this article

From what I can see only promotional material and material from B&S has been used to create this article. No other view points are given or acknowledged to exist. Who says "Their engines are known for their durability and low maintenance requirements" and why is this being presented as truth? Readers are meant to be able to check the veracity and origin of materila presented in Wikipedia. And alternative POV shown. But this article doesnt have a single cite in its text. Maybe its full of good info or maybe its all rubbish - unless you show where the info comes from no-one else can tell. Please clean this article up, ask for help if you need it.

I as an employee of Briggs and Stratton do agree with your posts. This page doesn't help with any problems and it is missing new engines that have came out in the past few years. As for the Briggs and Stratton web site, completely useless. Sandpiper, if you read this, the best thing to do is take it to a local dealer, Lowes, Home Depot, and see if they can help you Identify what engine you have. There are usually two places to find the model number at on one of our engines. First being the bar code label on the back side of the engine, the flat ribbed side, depending on the model. The second being on the side of the engine where the sparkplug is, unfortunately also depending on the model. If you would like some answers you can post here and I will do my best to help you find them. DavidnChris03 (talk) 18:47, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
