This is one you wont find in any of the parts books or listings by Briggs. This engine does not have castings for a kick or lever start. This one is on the list of engines to restore. I have very little info on it, any help would be appreciated.

Picture
 This engine was built in april of 1933. Serial # 5809 Model RL

 

Picture
 The R series engines were introduced by Briggs & Stratton in 1929. These were basically a heavy duty version of the Q engine with improved carburetion and lubrication. They were superseded by the Z and ZZ engines starting in 1931. These engines were used in all sorts of farm and industuial  applications  and were reliable and econamical to run.  This one is the rarest of the model R engines and could be one of the rarest engines Briggs ever built. There are only three know, including this one. There is not much known about these engines. The RL and the FJ1 were the first major use of aluminum in small briggs engines. It appears that the RL was a special order for edwards fire pump co. in longview wasington. They made fire pumps for the forest service for fighting wilr fires.
