The engine has a housing at least partially enclosing the output shaft and including at least one face. The output shaft has a portion extending through the one face of the engine housing and surrounded by the face. A timing pulley is affixed for rotation with the output shaft. A camshaft is supported for rotation about a second axis. A drive connects the timing pulley to the camshaft whereby the output shaft drives the camshaft. A flywheel is affixed for rotation with the output shaft wherein the timing pulley is closer to the face than the flywheel. A first ignition element is affixed for rotation with the timing pulley, and a pulser coil being in cooperation with the first ignition means.
