Decompression Valve makes starting easier.

Easy2Start™ System reduces resistance - eliminating the need for a strong, fast pull of the starting cord. Available on some models.

Electronic Ignition provides easier starting, faster acceleration and smoother running.

Heavy-Duty Centrifugal Clutch is designed to reduce slippage.

Long Life Cylinders give maximum wear life, better cooling and lubrication for more power output per cubic centimeter of engine displacement.
