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.
