The Vanguard engine is a V-twin, four-stroke gasoline engine that has been manufactured by Briggs & Stratton since 1997. It is used in a variety of outdoor power equipment, including lawn mowers, generators and pressure washers.
The Vanguard engine is designed for durability and long life, with many engines lasting for more than 2000 hours before needing major service. However, as with any mechanical device, proper maintenance is essential to extend the life of the engine and prevent premature failure.
