The Briggs and Stratton 351777 Vanguard is a 570 cc (34.8 cu·in) V-twin air-cooled four-stroke internal combustion gasoline engine, manufactured by Briggs and Stratton.
The B&S 351777 engine has an OHV (overhead valve) design and a vertical PTO shaft. This engine is equipped with float type, side-draft carburetor and an magneto electronic ignition system. The B&S 351777 engine used Dual-Clean air cleaner (paper element with a foam pre-cleaner).
The cylinder bore is 72.0 mm (2.83 in) and the piston stroke is 70.0 mm (2.75 in). This engine produced 20.1 PS (14.8 KW; 20.0 HP) at 3,600 rpm of horsepower.
The breakdown of the engine code is as follows:
- 35 – Displacement
- 1 – Basic design series
- 7 – Vertical PTO-shaft
- 7 – Ball bearing, flange mounting, pressure lubrication
- 7 – Electric starter
