Vintage 1980s, is my guess.
1 Gal lasts around 3 hrs, theyre kinda thirsty.1980's I have the coleman version (green) and it still runs and functions fantastic...its just LOUD
I upgraded the fuel tank to 5 gallons, installed magnet tipped drain plugs, changed the capacitor and installed fresh brushes. They need to be ran 3+ hours at one time then they start to get quieter and run smoother

Actually you aint wrong!Are you sure they are getting quieter....
.........or do your ears start to shut down?
Just kidding of course.
Hi Bill, Didn't see it in the 1985 catalog. But it is in the 1991-1992 catalog . Did see an auction listing where they dated it as a 1990 model. The 1991-1992 catalog is 84 meg - too large to attach or email.It is late 1970/early1980. I just looked in the 1977 catalog and it was not in it. I will look in the later catalogs Wednesday
Until we get a clear shot of the top of the fan shroud it’s hard to know for sure but like I said, looks like the engine was most likely made in 1990.Wasnt H “K”serial prefix for 1989?
briggs ser# year could be a year younger than unit ser# year
Hello Ray,Hi Bill, Didn't see it in the 1985 catalog. But it is in the 1991-1992 catalog . Did see an auction listing where they dated it as a 1990 model. The 1991-1992 catalog is 84 meg - too large to attach or email.
Compressed the catalog to be able to attach it.
Homelite also used year codes in ser# which is visible on pic. We don’t really need Briggs # as we have Homelite #. I just can’t remember the exact codes as they used numbers such as ”t77…….. for 1977. But switched it to letters later on. I though it started with TF in 1984 for saws etc and HF for non handheld? But could be wrong on letter to year code.Until we get a clear shot of the top of the fan shroud it’s hard to know for sure but like I said, looks like the engine was most likely made in 1990.
Are you thinking about the UT number?Homelite also used year codes in ser# which is visible on pic. We don’t really need Briggs # as we have Homelite #.
