Look at the flywheel cover right where it meets the spark plug. I believe
they used to be right there on top.

I have a 1940-1960 era 3 to 3.5 hp horizontal shaft B&Sengine. It
doesn't have any model / type markings anywhere on it. No label and
nothing stamped in the flywheel cover. It's original color is a
brown/bronze. I need the model number to get a replacement plunger
for the ignition system. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

That's where it should be but there's nothing there - printed,
stamped, etc. I have seen some in shops that have it stamped in the
metal but this one is smooth and doesn't appear to have had a label
there.
Is there any other way to determine what model it is? The B&S web
site has a guide but it really hard to use. It wants the displacement
vs. horsepower, color of theengine, year made, etc. If I knew all
this, I wouldn't need the model number!

Unless it's a restoration, get the electronic ignition conversion if it will work on thatengine. Is it cast iron or aluminum? Can you provide a link to a picture?
Minimum plunger length is 0.870 inches, by the way. Far as I know, they all use the same
one..- Hide quoted text -

I uploaded some pictures to Shutterfly. Here's the link.

If there is another way to do this, please let me know how.
I also included a picture of the buckboard mini-car that this engine
drives. I am restoring it.
Thanks,
Walter
