Are you sure its a briggs? Most of the sears machines i've see have used tecumseh.

Some folks do not know the difference.
A guy on this forum with "knowledge" swore up and down he had a Briggs.
Number he gave was Tecumseh coding.
After I pointed it out, he still refused to believe it was anything other than B&S.

it is for sure a 5.5 briggs

was just in there working on it

There is no such thing a flathead briggs 5.5

Get the numbers off the engine flywheel housing.
Should be something like 143.xxxxxx, or 500.xxxxxx. These are Sears/Craftsman designation numbers and will tell you exactly what you have and can be cross-referenced to Briggs/Tecumseh.
If first 3 numbers are 500 then is Briggs.
If 143, then is Tecumseh.
Example number of Sears/Craftsman Tecumseh 3.5hp vertical shaft:
