The Briggs & Stratton Gasoline/Electric Hybrid Car – In 1980, at the tail end of the energy crisis, Briggs & Stratton developed the first gasoline-electric hybrid automobile concept car. "The Hybrid" was designed by Brooks Stevens , had six wheels and was powered by a twin-cylinder 16 hp (11.9 kW) Briggs & Stratton engine and a large bank of ...
Carburetors are provided with a float chamber to provide a constant hydrostatic head of fuel above the carburettor's metering jets, thus a constant pressure. The float chamber itself does not vary the pressure according to demand, but it does vary the supply flowrate with demand, to keep this pressure constant.
Not all small engine ignition systems are CDI. Some engines like older Briggs and Stratton use magneto ignition. The entire ignition system, coil and points, are under the magnetized flywheel. Another sort of ignition system commonly used on small off-road motorcycles in the 1960s and 1970s was called Energy Transfer.

A carburetor (also spelled carburettor or carburetter) [1] [2] [3] is a device used by a gasoline internal combustion engine to control and mix air and fuel entering the engine. [4] The primary method of adding fuel to the intake air is through the Venturi effect or Bernoulli's principle in the main metering circuit, though various other ...

The contact breaker is operated by an engine-driven cam.On an engine with a distributor, the contact breaker can be found beneath the distributor cap.The position of the contact breaker is set so that it opens (and hence generates a spark) at exactly the optimum moment to ignite the fuel/air mixture.
The most basic carbureted engines, such as older small single cylinder Briggs & Stratton lawn-mower engines, feature a single throttle plate in a basic carburetor with a single venturi. The throttle can be varied and there is always a small hole or other bypass to allow a small amount of air to flow through so the engine can idle if the ...
