Hi all purchased a piston kit with rings from Briggs & Stratton but the top two pistons both have only one color strip. But one has a bevel on it. The instructions did not show any relevant pictures. Which goes first? The bevel or the non-bevel. I attached a couple pics.

We'll need more information,
engine model number?

I do but the rings are no longer on the piston
The trick is to lay them out in order and compare the new ones.
I've only ever put 1 set of rings on this particular engine and that's been a few years ago.
Briggs usually includes good instructions with their parts like that.
