Generac is not afilliated with briggs and stratton power products. Briggs and generac had an agreement a few years back but they are separate companies and have no connection at this time. Most of the parts that were sold through briggs for generac are gone and not available through briggs, They must be obtained through generac afiliated suppliers. Generac dealers order all there wholegood products directed from Generac, as well as parts for all but the portable generators and pressure washers.
As a Generac portable service center generac makes there own engine for the higher end units. I have seen the Loncin engine on several of the consumer grade units, they have used briggs, loncin, and nogano that I am aware of.
Then I guess Winkipedia got it wrong when they said
In 2003, the company acquired its consumer generator business from the Beacon Group and formed Briggs & Stratton Power Products. The Beacon Group had previously purchased the Consumer Products Division of Generac Corporation (now Generac Power Systems)
