My father-in-law has an old briggs model 23B for sale if anyone is interested. runs pretty good.

What's the asking price for the 23B
Do you have, or can you get the serial number off of it?

Sorry i took so long to get back to you,but i have been away from my computer. He no longer has the engine. Again i"m sorry for my tardy responce. Jerry

hello everyone. i am new to this. I just traded a Tecumseh 8hp for a briggs 23b and i was told the engine could be a 9hp. can anyone confirm the actual hp of this engine?

the engine info is
model:23
type:203314
serial:214589

Ok sorry about that. I did some research and i found out that the engine 23b was indeed a 9hp. I cleaned it up and got it running. Its a beautiful engine and it starts up on the very first pull and runs like a charm. It is a bit noisy because it needs a exhaust system. Does anyone knows where I could get an exhaust system for it or what the part number is for the exhaust system for this engine?.

I plan on selling it because its way too big and heavy and besides I already have an 11hp Briggs with electric start that is much smaller and less heavy than this 23b.

It is located in Woburn Massachusetts...617 642 9590
