Briggs & Stratton 422707-1511-01 engine Parts

On a Briggs lawn and garden engine, the model number format is typically Model-Type-Code. For model 422707-1511-01, 422707 identifies the engine family (model), 1511 is the type specification, and 01 is the code/version used to match the correct parts list.

Most Briggs engines have the identification stamped or printed on the blower housing, valve cover area, or a metal tag near the starter.

• Look for three groups of numbers separated by dashes
• Clean the area first so every digit is readable
• Copy the full string exactly (including leading zeros)
• Use the full number when ordering parts, not just the first group
• If the tag is missing, check for a stamped pad on the engine shroud

Briggs engines often have multiple carburetor, ignition, starter, and fuel system variations within the same model family. Using the full 422707-1511-01 number helps us match the correct replacement parts the first time, such as a spark plug, air filter, or ignition coil.

If you are troubleshooting a no-start or rough-running condition, these are common maintenance and ignition items to verify for this engine family:

• Air filter: Briggs & statton filter 394358S
• Spark plug: Briggs & statton plug 796112S
• Ignition coil (armature): Briggs & statton armature 590781
• Starter motor (electric start models): Briggs & statton start mower 497596

On your Briggs 422707-1511-01 lawn and garden engine, the most reliable way to identify horsepower is to read the engine’s power rating information printed on the engine label or shown in the engine’s model-type-code details; many engines list gross HP or torque rather than a simple “HP” number.

Check these common locations first (clean the area so the label is readable):

• Blower housing (recoil starter shroud) label or decal
• Valve cover area or nearby metal tag
• Engine shroud near the spark plug
• Stamped model-type-code information on the engine

If the label is missing or unreadable, use the model number and code information to match the correct power rating and parts for your exact build.

Before you shop parts or compare HP ratings, we recommend confirming these basics:

• Model number: 422707-1511-01 (already identifies the engine family)
• Type and code (often stamped; narrows down the exact configuration)
• Fuel system style (carbureted setups can vary by type)
• Starting system (electric start vs. recoil)
• Air filter style (helps validate the correct parts list)

A fast way to sanity-check the configuration is to compare your existing maintenance parts to the parts list for this model, such as the Briggs & statton filter 394358S and the Briggs & statton element 272490S.

Some Briggs engines emphasize torque instead of horsepower. If you see torque, you can still compare engines accurately.

Knowing the correct HP or torque rating helps you match the right carburetor, ignition, and starting components, and it prevents ordering parts that fit a different type or code variant of the same engine family.

To find specs for your Briggs engine model 422707-1511-01, start by locating the engine identification numbers (Model, Type, and Code) stamped on the engine. Once you have them, you can match the correct parts and typical service specs for tune-up items like the air filter, spark plug, and ignition components.

On most Briggs lawn and garden engines, the ID is stamped into the blower housing, valve cover area, or a flat spot on the engine shroud. Look for a line of numbers and letters that includes:

• Model: the base engine family (often 6 digits)
• Type: the configuration/build variation
• Code: the production date code
• A stamped pad or label near the spark plug and ignition area
• A stamping near the muffler heat shield or recoil/starter area

With the correct Model, Type, and Code, you can confirm the right maintenance parts and common service details for this engine family.

If your goal is to confirm specs by matching parts, these commonly serviced items are a good starting point:

• Replace the air filter with the Briggs & statton element 272490S if it’s dirty or oil-soaked
• Replace the spark plug with the Briggs & statton plug 796112S if starting is hard or misfiring occurs
• If you have weak or no spark, check the Briggs & statton armature 590781 (ignition coil)
• If the starter slips or grinds, inspect the Briggs & statton starter gear 695708
• If the plug wire boot is damaged, replace the Briggs & statton elbow spacer plug 66538S

Using the exact Model, Type, and Code prevents ordering the wrong carburetor, ignition coil, or starter parts. It also helps you set up a reliable maintenance routine so the engine starts easily, runs smoothly, and avoids premature wear.

On Briggs engines, the identification is typically stamped into the blower housing, valve cover area, or shown on a metal tag. For accurate parts matching, use all numbers you find.

• Model number (you have 422707-1511-01)
• Type number (helps identify the exact build)
• Code number (often indicates production date)
• Any spec or trim identifiers on the tag

Use the model-specific parts breakdown first, then confirm the part by function and location on the engine.

• Start with the model number 422707-1511-01
• Navigate to the system you are repairing (air intake, ignition, starter, fuel)
• Compare the part name and part ID to what is installed
• Replace wear items as a set when it makes sense (filter plus air element, plug plus boot)

These are frequent maintenance and no-start related items for Briggs lawn and garden engines.

Briggs engines often share similar-looking parts across multiple Type/Code variations. Using the full engine ID and selecting parts from the 422707-1511-01 breakdown helps prevent ordering a part that fits a different configuration.
