The engine is a V-twin four-stroke, 895 cc (54.6 cu in) or 993 cc (60.6 cu in) displacement, fan-driven air-cooled, gasoline engine design.The larger displacement is achieved by increasing the stroke from 78 to 87 mm (3.1 to 3.4 in), but using the same bore of 86 mm (3.4 in).
The Briggs & Stratton Gasoline/Electric Hybrid Car – In 1980, at the tail end of the energy crisis, Briggs & Stratton developed the first gasoline-electric hybrid automobile concept car. "The Hybrid" was designed by Brooks Stevens , had six wheels and was powered by a twin-cylinder 16 hp (11.9 kW) Briggs & Stratton engine and a large bank of ...
The Briggs & Stratton BlockZilla motor is a more advanced form of the earlier Raptor motor. The block is built up to handle more power. This means that the block is about 6 lb (2.7 kg) heavier and has much more structural integrity. Also the exhaust and intake ports are set on an angle.
Briggs & Stratton kept the motor that had been the heart of the Motor Wheel and adapted it to other applications such as lawn mowers and running small equipment. The Motor Wheel motor was the progenitor of all Briggs & Stratton motors to follow. [3] Virtually all Flyers were painted red and were known widely as the “Red Bug”.
Outboard motor shaft lengths are standardized to fit 15-, 20- and 25-inch (38-, 51- and 64-centimeter) transoms. If the shaft is too long it will extend farther into the water than necessary creating drag, which will impair performance and fuel economy. If the shaft is too short, the motor will be prone to ventilation.
During testing, the output torque and rotational speed are measured to determine the brake horsepower. Horsepower was originally measured and calculated by use of the "indicator diagram" (a James Watt invention of the late 18th century), and later by means of a Prony brake connected to the engine's output shaft.

The torque limiting clutch is the part of the tool that limits the amount of torque being applied to the fastener at the receiving end of the tool. On simpler tools the clutch settings may be marked with arbitrary numbers (e.g., from 1 for the lowest available torque to 20 for the highest, without necessarily having a linear relationship with ...
