The Vanguard® 24.6 Gross kW EFI/ETC horizontal shaft engine merges cutting-edge electronic technology with robust mechanical design, making it ideal for demanding tasks. With a power output of 33 HP at 3600 RPM, this V-Twin engine is tailored for rigorous construction, industrial, and agricultural uses. It features a closed-loop Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system alongside Electronic Throttle Control (ETC), which dynamically adjusts fuel and throttle in real-time, optimizing starting performance, load management, and fuel consumption. Built for longevity, it ensures smooth operation, reduced emissions, and prolonged runtime even in challenging environments.
- Power for demanding applications: Compact V-Twin design delivers notable torque and efficiency.
- Vibration-free operation: Internally balanced components considerably reduce vibrations and mechanical strain.
- Optimized power output: The EFI and ETC systems provide real-time fuel adjustments, maintaining consistent RPM under varying loads.
- Robust construction: Engineered to endure high loads, extreme temperatures, and daily operational challenges.
