I took a 10hp Tecumseh motor off of my Murray 30" rear engine mower, and replaced it with a Briggs & Stratton 12 hp. The Briggs started up but the throttle speed control bracket-- the small white plastic piece for the throttle cable-- broke.
Two questions...Where can I get the throttle speed control bracket for model 283707, Type 1138-E1, code 0004072D?
Also, I need a gas tank for the 12hp Briggs since the Tecumseh tank won't fit. Where can I find the plastic fuel tank with 2 hangers to mount for the Briggs?
I'd like original equipment if possible. Thanks, Casey
Plug your engine numbers into the Briggs website and there will be a manual and a parts diagram for you to download. The diagram will have parts numbers that you can put into Google or eBay to get the original parts, new or used.
*EDIT*
Looking up the info you gave (model & type) I don't see an engine listed for that. Are you sure those numbers are right? Typically you can put it into Google (283707-1138-E1) and PartsTree will show up with a diagram as well but I'm not seeing anything. There's one for 1139-E1: http://www.partstree.com/parts/?lc=briggs_and_stratton&mn=283707-1139-E1
