When I look in the service manuals section for Briggs engines, I see for example 'Model 200000 Horizontal Series' or 'Model 150000 Horizontal Series'.
If the engine I am looking to get torque specs for is Model 20A114, Do I look under '200000 Horizontal Series'? This is a horizontal shaft engine.
thanks

Generally, yes but be sure your version of the manual is fully up to date (That is, it covers the 20A000 series base model otherwise, should be mention of it in the book somewhere) If your copy of the manual is too old it may cover 200000 L-Head series, which would be incorrect specs if using on a 20A000 OHV series (In other words, your manual should be the "Single Cylinder OHV" version) However, I suspect the older 200000 L-head model series would have been pushed to the "Antique Engines" manual by now (or at least only found in the L-Head service manual)
