Old B&S engine model

[GPB]

I have a little 1964 flathead B&S engine from a relative and working to source parts. Can't find much out there about parts, so if I can't rebuild the carb I wonder if anyone knows of a way to retrofit a newer type to it. Everything else is in perfect shape, strong compression and strong spark.
Model is 82902 Type 0180 01 Code 6411192

Your model number is incorrect, the 9 may be a 3.

Model number is correct, diagram and gasket part number is 270253 and as you said no longer available. You can substitute Raisman #8031101 or Universal #530014. Both can be ordered through Jacks Small Engines if not available in your area.

I double checked the numbers and they are correct with what is stamped on the flywheel cover. Odd thing is that parts diagram shows it having a tank mounted carb, where the carb on this unit is a flowjet?? Maybe someone found the flywheel from one engine and it just happened to fit the other?? This could get fun.

Funny Rivets the Briggs 270253 is still available through two of my distributors. A&I and Power Distributors. Actually if I needed one it would cost me as little as $1.92 plus SHC. Suggested Retail is $2.95. So any Briggs dealer should be able to get it if you want OEM.

Can you post a pic of the engine? Might solve the mystery of what you have.

The problem with having the number stamped into the blower housing on blower housing that are all interchangable is people do that rather than buying a new one .

Well I remembered on the drive home that my uncle included a bucket of extra parts and there was indeed another flywheel cover in there model 61102. Turns out its about the same issue, with the diagram showing a tank mounted carb. Here is what the carb on the engine looks like. Might have to walk the streets like a filthy beggar with carb in hand to try and find one, hugh? I'm sure someone out there knows it by sight.

Here is the catch Both the 82902 and the 61102 are blower housing originally off of vertical engines not your horizontal engine.
