Vertical engine for walk behind lawn mower.

摘要

Several embodiments of air cooled rotary lawn mowers (11) wherein the mower is provided with a cooling shroud for directing cooling air downwardly across the engine. The cooling shroud (63) defines an air inlet (65) that is spaced from the discharge chute so that grass clippings are not likely to enter it. The engine is laid out so that the center of gravity of the mower is disposed rearwardly of the axis of the cutting blade (23) for facilitating turning.
