The Briggs & Stratton website has a section on where/how to find your model number etc.

MOST BIGGS ENGINES DEPENDING ON AGE AND THE TYPE OF EQUIPMENT ITS USED ON THE #'S COULD BE FOUND ON THE FRONT OF THE BLOWER HOUSING(RIGHT UP ABOVE THE STARTE ROPE HOUSING), OR ON THE SIDE OF THE BLOWER HOUSING, OR ON THE TOP OF THE BLOWER HOUSING(WERE IT BOLTS TO THE CYLINDER HEAD).
