Hi Peter,
         My Briggs NP is stripped and in a box at present (waiting for 
parts) but there is a pic and information about halfway down this page:
<http://www.asecc.com/data/briggs/engnotes.html>
(Mine is not a kickstart version as per this pic - rope start or, when 
coupled to the genny, electric start.)
         The Anglo-American thing should look good though.
         The Briggs was pretty common in the US but maybe you will battle 
in Aus. When I got mine the carb was missing but an American friend found 
me a complete (albeit very rusty) engine at Portland 2 years ago for US$ 
5.00 - he sent me the carb and a few small bits I needed and kept the rest 
for spares.

Keep the revs up (or down)
