Hi All,

Australian Newbie here, and long time Horizontal Shaft B&S user
Former part-time small engine tech at a Chainsaw & Lawn Mower centre (25-30 yrs ago whilst studying).

I've just bought a new mower for our little lawn in our new house. It's my first rotary after being exclusively a Scott Bonnar Cylinder mower user with B & S engines for since I was mowing my dad's lawn as a kid (with the exception of one Kirby)

Anyways, there are a few discrepancies in the new Mower manual's engine specs vs the included B&S manual (which covers 2 engines), so I'm trying to confirm which one is right.
The manual covers 90000 & 10000 series engines (140cc & 161cc)
I've emailed B&S, only to get a reply relating to a completely different engine.:confused2:

The Model Number is 100602 0187 H8

The specs i'm after is :

* Engine cc
* Torque
* Power (kw)
* DOV vs standard OHV.

The manuals state DOV and the pics show a DOV rocker cover, but the cover on my engine is stamped OHV. (From what I read, I understand there is a difference ?)

That model number gives no result on the B&S website (manual search).

The engine looks very much like the 700E series, with a slightly different cowl / cover.

(Note the specs for this link are missing :confused2

If anyone can shed any light or provide a link it'll be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Dizz

It sure is something new to me. I looked it up on the web and you-tube shows but how it works. Still is a OHV engine but instead of push rods they went to a lever system. I guess time will tell if it works out OK or not.

So if your model #s are right it is a 10000 series and the motor is a dov if found the parts # for the operators manual and the service manual
Here is the operator manual p/n 277099 and here is the service manual p/n 277527 I hope this info helps.

You have a DOV engine.

Its the only Briggs engine that is assembled in China but parts made in USA and sent there.

Very reliable engine which is now coming with Instart

Thanks for the replies.

I've since located the parts list for the 100000 Series engines, which shows a variety of different cosmetic differences in the engine covers , starter covers, mufflers etc.

I also located a PDF of the manual :

The Husqvarna manual lists the engine as a 700 Series, so maybe that was the red herring.
I was really beginning to think I had unwittingly bought the 140cc version, whereas it's advertised as 161cc.
Then again, the 700 Series shows blank specs on the B&S site.

Hmm, Chinese assembly hey ?....... that might explain the crooked B&S Sticker !! :confused2:
Maybe I should have spent the extra $$ on the 19" model.
(I chose the 18" due to the relatively small area, 2kg weight saving, and $100 price difference)
Hopefully it's just the external components that are assembled there and the internals are shipped pre-assembled.

It seems to work just fine - time will tell I suppose.

Thanks again for the input - others feel free to chip in with more if you have it

Thanks for the reply - I actually misquoted that model number - it should have read 90000 & 100000 series

You shouldn't have any problems with the DOV engine.

All manufacturers that produce in China usually have a strict quality control and most manufacturers are involved with China somewhere in their product.
