Default Replacement Briggs and Stratton engine

I saw a comment I think in this NG about finding replacement B & S

can't find why despite stripping most of it down and the solution seems
to be to find a replacement. The question is where to go to ?

Thanks

Generally its the valves needing regrinding.

IIRC new pistons and liners can also be obtained.

A whole new engine is usually when you have bent the crank and split the
crankase.

Any B & S stockist can get you parts,or a new engine.
