217800 specifications

The Briggs & Stratton 217800 series represents a significant advancement in small engine technology, widely recognized for its reliability and performance applications in various outdoor power equipment. This specific model is particularly noted for its application in lawn mowers, pressure washers, and other horticultural tools, making it an essential component for both homeowners and professionals alike.

One of the standout features of the 217800 series is its robust 4-cycle engine design. This not only ensures efficient fuel consumption but also enhances the overall longevity of the engine. The overhead valve (OHV) configuration allows for a compact design while improving airflow and fuel efficiency, setting the 217800 apart from other models in its class.

Another notable characteristic is its easy-starting capability, often attributed to the ReadyStart ignition system which eliminates the need for a choke. This innovation simplifies the starting process, allowing users to start their equipment smoothly even in varying weather conditions, making it an asset for quick and efficient operations.

The 217800 series also boasts an impressive power-to-weight ratio, ensuring that it delivers substantial torque and horsepower without being overly heavy. With a displacement of around 190 cc, it typically produces up to 6.75 ft-lbs of torque, making it suitable for a variety of demanding tasks. This balance of power and portability ensures users can handle challenging projects without overly exhausting equipment and themselves.

Maintenance is another area where the Briggs & Stratton 217800 excels. It comes equipped with features that enable easy access for maintenance tasks such as oil changes and air filter replacements. For instance, the design includes a spin-on oil filter that enhances oil management and overall engine health.

Incorporating advanced technologies like the proprietary overhead valve (OHV) design, a low-tone muffler for reduced noise, and a large-capacity fuel tank ensures maximum operational efficiency and a quieter user experience. Furthermore, its durable construction is designed to withstand the rigors of heavy use, providing homeowners and professionals with long-lasting reliability.

In conclusion, the Briggs & Stratton 217800 series combines powerful performance, innovative technologies, and ease of maintenance, making it a formidable choice for anyone seeking a dependable engine for outdoor power equipment.
