steel-forged crankshafts and advanced ignition systems, and provide greater displacement –

across the board – for greater power. You’ll also get dual ball bearings for easy starts,

reduced noise, vibration, emissions and better fuel efficiency.

Professional Grade Features for the Consumer.

Overhead valve for better fuel efficiency and cleaner emissions, cast iron cylinder bore and steel forged crankshaft provide added protection under load, extending the engine life.

Superior Startability.

The large indexable recoil starter and dual ball bearings make starting the engine nearly effortless.

Easy to Use and Maintain.

No matter the application, the dual oil fills and drains provide the user accessibility to fill and drain the oil from either side of the engine. Along with the large metal fuel tank, easy access controls and no tools required air cleaner, this engine top’s the easy-to-use category.
