Kawasaki Announces two EFI First Engines

[Jronman]

Kawasaki announces two new engines designed from the ground up for fuel injection. Apparently current fuel injection mower engines are not designed specifically for fuel injection. They are more designed like a carbureted engine but converted to fuel injection. I am not sure on power specs but to design the engine specifically for fuel injection sounds interesting I guess.

I'm sure most of the fuel injected OPE engines were basically throttle body injection. It would be the cheapest way to go cost wise.

Wondering how much more engine innovation is gonna happen with a lot of states pushing to eliminate gas lawn care equipment?

I expect it will be awhile. Most states aren't banning the sale of gasoline vehicles for another 10 years or so. Plenty of time for solid state batteries to become commercially viable.
