Briggs & Stratton Won't Start Gas is good, spark plug is good, oil is full. 3 year old mower. However, when I turn it on it's left side and leave it for a minute or two it starts for a moment and chuggs itself off. Pressed the primed button enough to smell gas. Never a starting issue for the past 2 years. Air filter is clean but smells of gas when the mower is tipped. No idea where the carburetor is (nothing visible on the mower) but purchased carb cleaner in case I needed it. Walmart Hyper Tough model and can't locate manual.
Any help would be much appreciated. My lawn makes the house look abandon :)

You should be able to look up the engine manual on Briggsandstratton.com as this is engine related, not mower related. In regards to your air filter smelling like gas, I am just checking... but did ever put the mower on its side with the air filter side facing down?

That Mower was made overseas in China by a company called, Daye. Your air filter has gas on it because it was, most likely tilted on it side by you or someone else, to cause gasoline to leak out from the carburetor back onto the air filter. To get a engine manual for engine parts and operation, go to https://www.briggsandstratton.com Look on the side of you engine for a sticker that had a QR code or barcode. (This will be on the engine somewhere, it is not something says 725 existing, for example.) It should have your engine model & serial number to search for parts.
I have a Briggs and Stratton engine (model: 192437 Type: 0125 01 code:9410101b) where can I find the shop manual I mean like a manual that shows everything like how many cc, exact hp, how it comes apart, part numbers, and others stuff

To the best of my knowledge, Briggs doesn't make individual shop manuals for each engine model. You can find exact specs at [briggsandstratton.com](http://www.briggsandstratton.com) as well as an exploded parts diagram; enter your model/type in the search box on the front page. If you want the repair manual, you can get them at your local Briggs dealer or online. One book covers several different engines, as many are just slightly different/bigger versions of the same engine. I believe the exact specs are also available in the owner's manual, which is available online at B&S.
Can anyone tell me where I can find a parts diagram with part numbers for this Briggs Model 8B . I need a crank and a few small things. Any idea what year this might be. It has decals saying David Bradley and Handy Man on it.
