FINDING PARTS

HOW TO FIND THE PARTS FOR YOUR ENGINE?

Looking for an engine part and hesitating between many references? Follow this step-by-step guide to read the right numbers on your engine and find the original reference (OEM) or its aftermarket equivalent.

QUICK ANSWER

	First identify the engine brand (not the machine brand).
	Read the exact numbers: model / type / code or their equivalents depending on the brand.
	With these numbers, access the engine's exploded view to find the OEM reference.
	Need help? Contact us and include your numbers.

STEP 1: BRAND & MODEL NO.

A machine has 2 families of parts: engine and machine. Outdoor power equipment manufacturers usually do not make the engine: so you often have two distinct brands (e.g. machine X with a Briggs & Stratton engine).

MAIN ENGINE BRANDS

Briggs & StrattonKohlerTecumsehHonda

STEP 2: CODES TO READ BY BRAND

BRAND	CODES TO READ	EXAMPLE / LOCATION
Briggs & Stratton	Model (6) + Type (4+2) + Code	Plate near the rocker cover
Honda	Engine family + suffix	GCV160-MD8
Kohler	Model + Spec	CV470-0062
Tecumseh	Type format	TVM195-150288G

STEP 3: EXPLODED VIEW & REFERENCE

1	Access the exploded view Of the engine (manufacturer), using the numbers you read.
2	Compare the designation E.g. carburetor assembly, ignition coil; variants by Spec / Type / Code.
3	OEM out of stock? We offer an aftermarket equivalent where it makes sense.

That's normal. Always identify the engine brand for engine parts.
