Sod the only 12 I know of thats a twin is an apposed twin and its a flathead engine not an OHV. This is not a desirable engine for BP. The preferred engine's in BP right now are the 18 and 20 hp Vangaurds, the 20 hp Tecumseh, and the Kohler's and kawasaki. though the last two are not used by many.

Good Evening.
So's ya know, Yep Briggs did make a 12.5 V twin O.H.V.
Don't have one myself but my uncle, a lawnmower repairman does. Fellow racer by the name of Justin Gordon did have it but traded it for something to him. Remember it cause I thought it was odd. Wanted to buy it from him but he priced it too high(My own uncle mind ya). Anyway, I really like the site. Bout time someone did this. Thanx!

I never seen a ohv 12 twin, but that don't mean it aint so. I have seen it in an apposed twin engine though.
