Find and decode your stamp
This engine's stamp reads: Model 12J802, the Code is stamped per engine and gives its build date.
On Quantum L-head engines the Model-Type-Code is stamped into the blower housing - the metal shroud over the flywheel - most often along the top edge of the housing or the side facing the muffler; some builds carry the same numbers on a metal tag riveted to the housing. (Per Briggs & Stratton identification literature for single-cylinder L-head engines and repair manual 270962.). Bring the full stamp - model, type, and code - to the decoder.
Read the Quantum decode page or paste the whole stamp into the Briggs & Stratton decoder for the build date and what each part means.
Repower - what it replaces
Briggs published factory replacement mappings for parts of this series (form MS-1060 covers the 12H802/12H807 Types); modern EXi-class engines are the current-production repower path for this footprint. Shaft is Type-dependent - match the full Model-Type before ordering.
