brigs or not

[68sportcoup]

I found this engine on cl and got it today for 40 bucks it has an 11 tooth 35 sprocket on the clutch it starts right up and idles and revs up pretty good something looks wrong with the linkage on the carb the guy said it was a 4hp but hes not sure hes had it a long time i couldnt find any numbers on it but i didnt take off the pull start maybe there are numbers under there.
what do you guys think

Yes its a Briggs. The ID #'s should be on the left top of the blower housing

the shaft was only 1.625 does that mean anything?

There should be a number in the corner of the head, 10 = 4hp , 13= 5hp

i saw an 8c on the head

I believe 8C is the 3 HP motor, I have the same one and the sticker on the shroud says 3HP.
