Go to the Briggs website Lawn Mower Parts & Small Engine Parts by Briggs & Stratton and type in your engine model and type codes. They have manuals that you can download for free.

I would buy the correct regulator for your engine. the one from your 2 stroke might work, but it could also fry everything behind the flywheel. the briggs part is about $65. if you fry the stator, your looking at the $65 for the regulator and something like $120 for the stator, plus the labor of having to remove the flywheel, starter and associated parts to replace the stator and correctly route the wiring
