EASY TO USE AND MAINTAIN
A ball bearing-supported crankshaft and precision engineered components result in greater stability and lower vibration for you, no matter what the application.
The use of lightweight, noise-reducing materials and a forged steel crankshaft & rigid crankcase results in an exceptionally quiet engine that incorporates a large capacity, multi-chamber exhaust system.
And with a simple throttle control, large fuel tank and automotive type fuel cap, dual oil drains and fills, an easily accessible spark plug and heavy duty recoil starter your engine will be easy to upkeep.
