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.

Where to find the numbers

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

What each section means (quick reference)

Section	Example from 422707-1511-01	What it tells you	Why you use it
Model	422707	Engine series/family	Narrows to the correct engine platform
Type	1511	Build configuration	Matches carburetor, ignition, governor, etc.
Code	01	Version/production code	Helps match running changes and exact parts

Why it matters for parts matching

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.

Common parts you may match using the full model number

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.

Where to look on the engine

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.

Quick checks that help confirm you have the right engine

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.

HP vs. torque: what the label may show

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

What you see on the engine	What it means	How to use it
Gross HP	Peak horsepower rating	Use for general comparison only
Torque (ft-lb)	Twisting force output	Often the primary published rating
Model-type-code	Exact build identification	Best for matching correct specs and parts

Why it matters

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.

Where to find the Model, Type, and Code numbers

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

What “specs” you can confirm once you have the ID

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

Spec or item	What it’s used for	What you typically match it to
Air filtration	Prevents dirt ingestion	Air filter element and pre-filter style
Ignition parts	Spark and timing	Spark plug type, boot, ignition coil
Fuel delivery	Starting and running quality	Fuel hose size, clamps, carburetor version
Starting system	Cranking the engine	Starter gear, starter motor, flywheel

Parts on this model page that help you tune and identify the engine

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

Why it matters

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.
