A power unit and control assembly for a motorized utility implement is disclosed, the power unit and its control assembly being attachable to a frame having wheels, at least one of which is attached to a drive axle powered by an engine. In a preferred form, the power unit includes the engine, a centrifugal clutch driven by the engine, and a transmission shaft extending from the clutch. The transmission shaft is linked to the drive axle and also engages a brake assembly for stopping the motorized utility implement. The power unit further includes a handle control assembly for controlling both the throttle of the engine and the brake assembly. The handle control assembly includes a speed control handle that simultaneously disengages and engages the brake assembly and variably opens and closes the throttle, thereby permitting greater or lesser forward speeds. The handle control assembly also preferably includes a brake control lever attached to a stationary portion of the handle control assembly, whereby the brake assembly may be disengaged without opening the throttle of the engine, thereby permitting manual, rather than powered, movement of the motorized utility implement. Preferably, actuation of the brake control lever disables the speed control handle, to prevent inadvertent engagement of the throttle while the brake assembly is disengaged.
