Vertical crankshaft engines are a type of engine commonly used in garden machinery such as lawn mowers, snow blowers, and tillers. As the name suggests, the engine's crankshaft is oriented vertically, meaning it runs up and down rather than horizontally. This design allows for a more compact and efficient engine, as well as easier maintenance access. Vertical crankshaft engines are typically air-cooled and range in size from small, single-cylinder models to larger, more powerful engines with multiple cylinders.
Top Tip...
When it comes to repowering your machine with a new engine, or repairing the engine with a short block, please do not guess or assume that something will suit your application just because it looks the same, or looks like it will fit. Choosing the wrong engine, short block, or part, can result in poor running, premature failures, or may just not work/fit full stop! If there is any doubt, contact us first. We will take as much information as you can supply us with, but we will need a minimum of the model, spec/type and serial/code numbers from your engine and ideally, the intended application. Equipped with this information, our Technical Support Team can help identify the available options for you.
