Let's see if i got this straight:
First two digits indicate displacement/ 28 cubic inches.
Third digit/letter indicates design series/V
Fourth digit indicates/vertical crankshaft, Flo-jet carberator and mechanical governor.
Fifth digit indicates/plain bearing
Sixth digit indicates/Electric starter-12 volt gear drive, with alternator.
Type number identifies unique features such as the crankshaft(output shaft size) or governor springs used on that engine.
The code number indicates assembly date and manufactoring plant.
