Abstract
A small internal combustion engine having user interfaces which are located proximate to one another and within a centralized portion of the engine which is easily accessible by a user, such that the user may readily identify and manipulate the user interfaces. The user interfaces include the carburetor choke and throttle controls, the carburetor primer bulb, the engine ignition key switch, the fuel shut-off valve, the fuel fill inlet and fuel tank cap, and the oil fill inlet and oil fill cap. The carburetor choke and throttle controls are configured as rotary members mounted within an upper front portion of the engine shroud, and are shaped for easy grasping by a user to control the running of the engine.
