Simple forms of carburetor remain in widespread use in small engines such as lawn mowers and more sophisticated forms are still used in small motorcycles.
The R 754 is a 3.0 L; 181.2 cu in (2,970 cc) double overhead camshaft inline-four engine, featuring common-rail direct fuel injection and a fixed-geometry turbocharger. The bore and stroke are 94 mm × 107 mm (3.70 in × 4.21 in). It produces between 82 and 115 hp (60 and 85 kW).
The engines are small in both physical dimensions and power output, relative to larger automobile engines.Power outputs are typically less than 11 kW (15 hp). The smallest of all are used in handheld garden machinery, such as string trimmers and chainsaws, which have a displacement as small as 24 cc (1.5 cu in). [2]
The number in the engine code gives the approximate displacement of the engine. e.g. B18A would have an approximate displacement of 1.8L, H22A1 would have an approximate displacement of 2.2L. Some engines below were available in more than one market. A-series. 84–87 A18A1 Prelude (America) 85–89 A20 Accord carbureted (Europe, America)
The Twin Cylinder Engine – This engine was introduced in 1977 as a means of competing with Briggs & Stratton's rivals, particularly Japanese firms like Honda who were cutting into traditional Briggs & Stratton markets by producing lawn mower engines (and later, complete lawn mowers). These first models were rated 16 hp (11.9 kW) and displaced ...

At the end of the 1920s they also started producing engines for stationary use, with the first model being the water-cooled WX11 and in 1933 the air-cooled Mar-vil. Villiers engines were also used in lawn mowers, for example the 147 cc engine was used in the Atco mowers of the 1920s and in 1931 it was joined by a 98 cc Villiers engine, known as ...
