The Briggs and Stratton 254427 is a 399 cc (24.3 cu·in) single-cylinder, air-cooled, four-stroke cycle, internal combustion gasoline engine with horizontal PTO-shaft, manufactured by Briggs and Stratton.
The Briggs and Stratton 254427 engine has a L-head (side valve) design and a horizontal PTO shaft. The B&S 254427 engine is equipped with flo-jet type carburetor, an transistor module ignition system, splash type lubrication system and 12V electric starter.
A 87.30 mm (3.44 in) cylinder bore and 66.7 mm (2.63 in) piston stroke give the Briggs and Stratton 254427 engine a total 399 cc (24.3 cu·in) of displacement. This engine produced 11.2 PS (8.2 kW; 11.0 HP) at 3,600 rpm of maximum horsepower.
The breakdown of the engine code is as follows:
- 25 – Displacement
- 4 – Basic design series
- 4 – Horizontal PTO-shaft, Flo-jet carburetor
- 1 – Sleeve bearing, flange mounting
- 7 – Electric starter 12V, gear drive with alternator
