OK on the chart I gave you.
1, You have OHV so go to OHV SINGLE CYLINDER
2. Model number starts with 12 so go down to 120000 and chose your shaft placement Vertical or Horizontal
3. Read left to right.

It is not really easy to read this chart till you have used it a few times. Sometimes we forget how difficult things we take for granted are.
