Engine identity and pull cord replacement

[justpassinthru]

After sitting for at least three years, popped a new spark plug in, put in a new pull cord (had to grind a new notch in the spring for the keeper, tip was broke off), filled with gas, splashed a tablespoon worth into the carb and she started first pull. First Snapper and I am sold for life. Have a back yard that with my broken mower has grown to over a foot, soaking wet and raining and this Snapper chowed through it. Did clog alot with the long chute, but the mower never slowed.

My engine code was on the shroud and is 110908 0309-01 76031004

Where do you guys order parts from?

No standardization, the numbers were located in various places.

It will be something like this: 92502 0156 6508112 That's the number off a small Briggs engine of mine. Model, Type, and Code.

There are numerous places you can get parts. Jack's Small Engines, Tulsa Engine Warehouse, eReplacement Parts, even Amazon. There is probably a local distributor near you as well.

The first thing you need, though, is a parts diagram for your engine that will tell you the part number of the parts you need. Then you can just do a search on that p/n and something will probably pop up. (edit: Although it's helpful to have the p/n, it isn't necessary. Whoever is selling you the parts has the ability to look up the p/n's from the Model and Type number you give him.)

I'm lucky in that I live fairly close to a parts supplier named AES in Olathe, KS. They would probably do phone orders for parts. http://www.lawnparts.com/

PM me your email and I'll send you a Maintenance Manual that should work for your engine.

(edit #2: I've also bought Briggs parts from this place. Very good prices. http://www.smallenginepartssuppliers.com/index.htm)
