Briggs & Stratton Service Engine Sales Manual

Model 122700 Series Engines Replaced With Standard Service Engines

In most cases, the Original Type numbers shown may be replaced by a Service Type Number without making any changes. Necessary changes of engine parts such as crankshafts, reduction parts, blower housings, etc., are noted. Other differences, such as mufflers, elbows, deflectors, etc., are not listed but are very important for safety and engine performance. Be sure the exhaust system on the replacement engine duplicates the system originally selected by the equipment manufacturer. Parts that are suitable for additional use should be transferred. Before making any conversion, check the data shown in the column labeled "REMOVE, ADD and NOTE." See if the changes, which are shown, are actually necessary on the application in question. Often a standard service engine will be a WORKABLE replacement without converting to such things as a special fuel tank or starter position.

If the crankshaft number does not appear in the "Original Engine" column, consult the Illustrated Parts List for the correct service replacement crankshaft number.
