No, it wasn't.

Funny thing about this. The two bolt holes on the side of the engine, match the holes on the regulator. But, the ONLY way to get it to fit flush on the engine, is the turn the fins towards the ending, and put spacers between the regulators tabs and the engine. If the fins are turned outwards, the connector itself keeps it from sitting flush.

The regulator I looked up for this engine, only has one hole. I can see a nut factory welded to the back of the plate a regulator mounts to. But I didn't check to see if there were two.

Here is something even funnier. That is a Kohler 15 amp half wave regulator/rectifier attached to a Briggs engine.

You want the fins facing inward into the engine shroud for the extra air cooling if possible. Or at least that how Kohler mounts their voltage regulators.

Seems like I remember seeing the black resin side always facing outward, instead of the fins. I've got another one, the right one, on the list to order. Stens 435-195. The mounting holes looks like they'll match.
It's a little pricey though, at almost $60.

That the style the IPL indicates for this engine. At the tech didn't cut the connectors and housings.

PT you can google "Briggs alternator chart pdf" and you can get a nice color chart to help identify Briggs alternators and regulators by engine type. Maybe this link will work

I found the same stens part on Amazon for $20. At least it says it's a stens.

Doubt if it is stens. That is less than half the gold level price. Not saying it isn't the same China part. Just not from stens.

As you said it is pricey. That Briggs 845907 can be replaced with 593490. It just the yellow connector is white and list for only $33.80. Both are 15 amp regulators.
