Quiet and
Compact
The 55B Four offers 4-cylinder, 4-cycle smoothness in a
lightweight, compact engine. Designed to fit in the smallest
engine compartments, the 55B Four is about 3 inches lower in
height and over 2 inches less in width than its predecessor!
A tuned air intake silencer and 4-point vibration mounts
diminish sound and vibration for a smooth and quiet ride.
Powerful and Reliable
The naturally aspirated 2.18 liter design of the 55B Four provides
instant power as well as simplicity and reliability. The 55B
Four is rated at a low 3000-rpm for longer engine life and
delivers dependable power without sacrificing smooth, quiet
operation.
Easy Operation and Maintenance
In order to minimize engine maintenance, a fresh water cooling
system and self-bleeding fuel system are designed into the
55B Four. For ease of maintenance, the raw water pump is
conveniently located on the service side of the engine.
Incorporated into the design of the 55B Four is a standard,
positive flow, hot water heater connection in the thermostat
bypass circuit located on the front of the engine for easy
access.
Many Optional Accessories
Many optional accessories are available including large single and
dual output battery charging alternators and refrigeration
compressor mounts. Factory engineered and factory installed,
