Frequently Asked Questions about the Briggs and Stratton Vertical Multi-Purpose Engine

Briggs and Stratton is a company that specializes in engines for water pumps, portable generators, mowers, snow blowers, and commercial vehicles. The multi-purpose engine can be used for various functions, although you should always make sure it is compatible with your vehicle or equipment. eBay has a variety of these engines for you to choose from according to your needs. 

What does OHV mean?

OHV, which stands for overhead valve, is a proprietary engine technology developed by Briggs and Stratton. Thanks to the unique lever system, it delivers a high power to weight ratio, improved fuel economy, and long-lasting performance in a lightweight, compact design. It is also designed to run smoothly and quietly with few vibrations.

Does Briggs and Stratton produce any electric engines?

That depends on the model. The large majority of Briggs and Stratton engines are petrol powered. However, a small number of models are powered by a lithium-ion battery. These batteries operate at 82 volts upon startup but 72 volts nominally. They can run for up to 45 minutes on a single charge. Apart from pure electric motors, some models also combine petrol with a lithium-ion battery during startup.

What are some features of Briggs and Stratton's engines?

Each engine may have one or more of the following technologies.

  • InStart Technology: This electric starting system eliminates the need to pull a rope. It is designed to start within two attempts.
  • ReadyStart: The ReadyStart system delivers the necessary amount of fuel to the carburetor based on the temperature of the engine. This eliminates the need to manually prime or check the device before you start it.
  • Electronic Fuel Management: The fuel management system can operate in a range of different temperatures, from -28 degrees Celsius to 50 degrees Celsius.
  • Mow N'Stow: This design lets you place the mower or equipment vertically for easier storage, transportation, and cleaning.
  • Super Lo-Tone Muffler: Briggs and Stratton's proprietary muffler system reduces noise levels during operation.

What is an EXi engine?

EXi is a series of petrol powered engines. This series requires no oil change, making it easier to service and maintain. You can just check and add oil as needed. The EXi series is equipped with the ReadyStart starting system.
