Product Summary

This 1,028cc, high speed open power with group 8 interchange provides superior performance over broader RPM range. High efficiency combustion significantly lowers emissions to meet all CARB, EPA and EURO emissions standards. Fewer moving parts mean lower vibration, superior balance and low cylinder volume. Belt-driven overhead camshaft, low-turbulence precombustion chamber and quieter injection significantly reduce sound. Compact, heavy-duty design with multiple power takeoff points provides increased application flexibility.
