How do you tell Briggs series?

[dennis]

I am working on the following engine...Briggs and Stratton Mod 12H602 , Type 0308-E1, Code 031230 FB. I went to the B & S site to look up manual to find out the OHV clearances. I put in the Model and Type, and a list came up ....English, Lat Lon, etc etc. Anyway, one manual covered models 110000, 120000.....and one covered 120000, Intek, Intek Edge, Intek Pro (series 825..etc). One gave intake valve clearance .004 - .008 and one gave .004 - .006. How can I tell which "120000" is mine? How does one tell the series?

One manual is for L-Head, the other is for OHV

KE4AVB..Thanks for info and service manual. Where did you get specs for 12H6? The service Manual 279000 says .004-.008" for both the intake and exhaust.
