Hi...

You can go to http://www.briggsandstratton.com - enter the site, then click
on "My engine information", then register. Once registered you can enter
information for your B&S engine: Model, Type, and Code (optional). You can
also add additional engines.

After that you can find a list of parts and accessories for that engine,
among which are manuals and parts lists, which can be viewed and saved at no
charge free as pdf files.

Also, at the top of the page is a link for specs for the engine, much of
which won't be in the manual. The specs are in a pop-up box with no
provision for printing, so I used a screen capture program to save it as a
jpg file, which I then printed.

Hope that helps.

Ken, what site did you use for the download. I could use it myself. Thanks
in
advance.

I downloaded a users manual from Briggs and Stratton, and they show a
"governor control lever" but never mention what it's for. Can anyone
clue me
in?

Beats me how could any company put out a manual without explaining ALL
the
parts and
controls pointed to with arrows!

Thanks.
