- motorcycles;
- vibrating plates;
- gasoline power plants;
- ATVs
- rollers;
- scooters;
- cultivators;
- snow blowers;
- rammers;
- motor pumps and other construction, gardening and industrial equipment.
The design of this unit has implemented such new solutions:
- fuel valve, which allows to shut off the fuel supply to the carburetor during transportation;
- cast-iron cylinder liner, which increases the motor resource of the unit.
Four stroke single cylinder Lifan 154F
