Hi, I'm Tim Carter from... wait a minute... that's a lot better. Hi, I'm Tim Carter from
0:09
AskTheBuilder.com and I want to show you a new gasoline powered engine that you
0:14
might be able to get on your next lawnmower. And if you do get it, you might
0:18
never have to wear ear protection again. I'm talking about the Briggs & Stratton
0:23
Quiet Power Technology and guess what? It didn't happen by accident. The crafty
0:28
engineers reduced engine sound by 65% and at the same time they significantly reduced vibration
0:36
These engines are equipped with a Briggs and Stratton ready start starting system. There's no
0:42
priming, there's no choke, you just pull it for power. Mine always starts with the first pull
0:48
You might be able to get an engine that has an electric start as well. When you're cutting the
0:55
grass, you want to be able to hear what's going on around you. This mower will go a
0:59
long way to keep your neighbors happy and it can help protect your hearing
1:03
Okay, let's do a quick side-by-side comparison. Now listen, I know it's not an
1:08
official testing lab. I'm inside my garage. I've tried to isolate two
1:12
different Briggs & Stratton engines and we'll see if you can tell the difference
1:17
What I'm going to do is I'm going to place the camera at 16 inches away from
1:23
from the engine, the edge of the engine, at a 45 degree angle from the muffler
1:28
you know, to be kind of, you know, the same. And one of the engines is on my log splitter
1:35
and it about a six Briggs Stratton engine And then of course we got the new QuietPower Technology engine So let give it a whirl Here the older Briggs Stratton engine that on the log splitter Let do it first
1:50
Okay, what do you think of that
2:08
Now let's try the new Quiet Power Technology engine on the lawnmower
2:26
I don't know about you, but I can tell a distinct difference. Now it may be hard listening to the two engines using the speakers on your computer
2:34
But believe me, when you operate both of these engines outdoors, there's absolutely a big, big difference
2:41
So trust me, you're going to love this new QuietPower technology engine
2:46
And give it a whirl. Go look at one and turn it on and see for yourself
2:52
See if you can't tell a big difference in that engine noise
2:56
I'll tell you right now, your neighbors and your ears are going to love you. I'm Tim Carter for AskTheBuilder.com
