Briggs & Stratton 305442 – 16.0 Gross HP Horizontal V-Twin Engine

Description: Commercial-grade horizontal shaft V-Twin engine designed for heavy-duty equipment such as generators, pumps, log splitters, and industrial machinery. Built for high torque output, durability, and long service life under continuous load.

The Briggs & Stratton 305442 is a 479cc Vanguard-series V-Twin horizontal shaft engine rated at approximately 16.0 gross horsepower. It is engineered for industrial and commercial applications, delivering smooth power delivery, strong low-end torque, and reliable performance in demanding operating conditions.

This engine uses a V-Twin OHV configuration, which improves cooling efficiency, reduces vibration, and extends engine life compared to single-cylinder designs.
