The JPX PUL 425, also called simply the JPX 425, is a French twin-cylinder, horizontally opposed, two-stroke aircraft engine. The engine was produced only until the company went out of business in the early 1990s. The company was re-formed but the engine remains out of production and unsupported for parts.

Design and development

The engine has two cylinders in a horizontally opposed configuration, with cooling fins on the cylinders. The single ignition system uses a coil and points. Fuel is metered by a single Tillotson butterfly-type carburetor. Starting is by a recoil starter system with electric start as an option. The 425 has a redline rpm of 4600 and does not use a reduction drive. Its weight of just 38 lb gives the engine a high power-to-weight ratio.
