Briggs and Stratton 31N707 Specs

The Briggs and Stratton 31N707 is a 501 cc (30.6 cubic inches) single-cylinder air-cooled 4-cycle internal combustion gasoline engine, manufactured by Briggs and Stratton. The engine has an OHV (overhead) design, cast iron sleeve and a vertical PTO shaft. This engine is equipped with float type carburetor and an electronic ignition system. The Briggs 31N707 engine used a dual element air filter (paper filter with a foam pre-cleaner). It is equipped with an electric starter (12V). The cylinder bore is 90.6 mm (3.57 in) and the piston stroke is 77.8 mm (3.06 in). This engine output 18.6 PS (13.7 KW; 18.5 HP) at 3,600 rpm of maximum power. Engine code identification: 31 - Total displacement, N - Basic design series, 7 - Vertical PTO-shaft, 0 - Plain bearing, 7 - Electric starter.
