EFI-equipped V-Twin engine engineered for fuel-efficient power in commercial equipment

The Vanguard® 17,2 Gross kW EFI horizontal shaft engine combines a robust V-Twin design with advanced Electronic Fuel Injection for responsive, efficient, and reliable performance in challenging applications. Delivering 23 HP at 3600 RPM, this engine is ideal for power equipment in agriculture, landscaping, and industrial sectors. Real-time optimization of fuel and spark enhances cold starts, improves throttle response under load, and extends fuel range—making it a smart choice for high-performance, high-duty-cycle machinery.

• Power for heavy-duty tasks: V-Twin architecture produces strong torque and power, ideal for tough field operations.
• Smooth operator: Internally balanced to reduce vibration and increase equipment service life.
• Efficient power delivery: EFI with electronic governor improves response, efficiency, and usability in dynamic conditions.
• Durable design: Built with rugged components and cast iron sleeves for long-term reliability under load.

• Electronic Fuel Injection with E-Governor
  Open-loop EFI ensures quick starts and optimized fuel use. The electronic governor maintains usable power delivery under changing loads.
• V-Twin OHV Technology
  Dual-cylinder overhead valve setup ensures smoother combustion, greater output, and longer engine life with reduced fuel use.
• Smooth Easy Starting
  Mechanical compression release and Magnetron® ignition enable fast, consistent starts. Rewind and solenoid shift starter options are available.
• Maximum Durability
  Rugged engine block and cast iron sleeves improve wear resistance and oil control, protecting core components over long hours.
• High Efficiency Head Design
  Angled intake/exhaust ports increase tumble and mixing for cleaner combustion, reduced emissions, and more power per stroke.
• Superior Balance
  Lightweight pistons and dynamic crankshaft balancing reduce engine vibration and thermal fatigue.
• Extended Engine Life
  Dual ball bearings and full-pressure lubrication with a spin-on oil filter protect moving parts and extend service life.
• Compact Design
  High power density within a tight envelope supports flexible installation in confined engine bays.
• Cyclonic Air Cleaner (Optional)
  Provides advanced debris separation to protect the engine’s internals in dusty or off-road environments.
