The Briggs and Stratton 350447 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 350447 engine has an OHV (overhead valve) design and a horizontal PTO shaft. This engine is equipped with float type, down-draft carburetor and an magneto electronic ignition system. The B&S 350447 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 18.1 PS (13.3 kW; 17.8 HP) at 3,600 rpm of horsepower.
The breakdown of the engine code is as follows:
- 35 – Displacement
- 0 – Basic design series
- 4 – Horizontal PTO-shaft
- 4 – Ball bearing, flange mounting, pressure lubrication
- 7 – Electric starter
