Gentle Readers,
How do I answer all these question? Well, maybe over thirty-five years of doing it face-to-face, over the phone or online might do that. I would be called "old school" since many of the brands I learned to work on had illutrated parts lists as the learning aid.
For engines I go to the sources:
Operator Manuals, Illustrated Parts Lists & Wiring Diagrams - Briggs & Stratton (http://www.briggsandstratton.com/maint_repair/manual_and_more/)
Honda Engines (http://www.honda-engines.com/)
Kawasaki Engines & Power Products - Home Page (http://www.kawpowr.com/)
Kohler Engines: Owners & Service Manuals:
Manuals & Maintenance (http://www.kohlerengines.com/manuals/landing.htm)
Not all but answers most
And for equipment manufacturers I often go to:
Operator's Manuals for John Deere Equipment (http://www.deere.com/en_US/homeowners/services_support/manuals.html)

Toro - Lawn Mowers, Zero Turn Mowers, Tractors, Snow Blowers (http://www.toro.com/home/index.html)
