I guess this was announced last month - Ariens will have 2 models of snow throwers with their LCT-made engine and EFI. If you Google ariens ez-launch efi engine, 1 of the hits was for a presentation on it. I have not found anything that shows the engine without the shroud, but I would like to see how it is done. I don't want it yet, but I guess it's coming. The governor mechanism is electronic, and they say that you can leave the fuel in off-season & it won't spoil, because it won't be exposed to air. There is a battery to run the EFI unit, which they say is small - similar to what is in a RC racer. The gearhead in me wonders how it is done, and the cheapskate in me is scared it could be expensive to keep this stuff going 10+ years, which is what I normally do.
