I have a Briggs Intek V twin 19 HP engine, and a single cylinder I/C Gold 12.5 HP on a Craftsman 2. The starters were the same except that the mounting bracket was different. One was a gold steel bracket, and the single cylinder had an aluminum bracket. I used the starter from the 12.5 HP motor on the twin, but I had to trim the bracket with a cut off wheel.
The gear doesn't cost much. But if you just want a spare, I suggest looking them over first.
