Engine

Kawasaki expands its line of air-cooled, V-twin engines with the new 13-horsepower FH381V and the 15-horsepower FH430V models. Both engines feature a vertical-shaft design, bringing V-twin power and smooth operation to small to mid-size lawn and garden equipment. The most noticeable changes on both new vertical-shaft engines are a new air cleaner designed to be very user-friendly and a compact new starter. Standard features include cast-iron cylinders, full pressurized lubrication system, top-access oil fill and dipstick and spin-on type oil filter, low tone muffler and pulse-type fuel pump and in-line fuel filter. www.kawasaki.com 616/954-3018
