Billy Goat Parts has a search engine that can find compatible parts based on your equipment’s model name and serial number. Where do you find this information? Unfortunately, with so many types of equipment and engines, the serial number can’t be at the same location on every model. Here’s where you can find your equipment’s ID plate, as well as where you can get the identifying information for your Billy Goat’s engine.
Why Can’t I Just Use the Model Number?
Billy Goat and their partners continually update their products. Model names are used for years, but there are often several revisions during the life of the product, with changes to several components. Engines don’t just go through revisions. There are several versions available to fit different applications and emissions requirements. The Honda GX390 alone has been offered in 10 versions.

Where Do I Find Engine Serial Numbers?
Briggs & Stratton
This number is stamped on the blower housing, above the muffler heat shield, or on the rocker cover. Engines built after June 2012 also have a QR code printed on the front or back side of the engine. The serial number is printed below this code. You can also scan the code to get this number.
Vanguard
The serial number is either printed directly on the engine, or on a tag riveted to the engine . On V-twins, this number is on the side with the oil filler cap. On single cylinder engines, this number is printed on the rocker cover. If you have a chrome cover over the rocker cover, you need to remove it to see the serial number underneath. Some new models have a QR code sticker that can be scanned to get your model and serial number.
Honda
Look for a 4-5 letter prefix followed by 7 numbers stamped on the side of the engine. This number is printed just above the oil drain plug on most engines.
