Since the first Briggs & Stratton Vanguard engine appeared about twenty years ago, it has become a leader in the commercial engine field. The 90 degree slant design of the V-twin makes a compact unit that is very quiet and smooth running. Overhead valve design has proven to be the way to the future, not only in air cooled engines, but automotive engines as well have used this design for years. The horizontal engines come in 2.4 to 35 hp and the vertical engines in 16 to 35 hp. The V-twin comes in 16 to 35 hp. I have been involved with many engines in the last 40 years and I believe the Vanguard is about as good as it gets, when it comes to air-cooled engine power and reliability.

The 2.4 to 13 hp, 30 degree slant, single cylinder horizontal engines are used on a variety of commercial applications such as pumps, pressure washers, generators and many other uses. These engines have proven themselves over the years as dependable long life workhorses. Here are some of the features of the horizontal single cylinder engines.

The 16 to 35 hp V-twin's contain some additional or different features then the smaller horizontal units above.

The Briggs & Stratton Vanguard is the commercial workhorse of there engine line. It was designed to give years of service on commercial equipment. If your needs are less demanding, or for home use, than the Intek line may be a better choice for you, but if you need the best, then go with Vanguard.
