Exceptional performance. Honda’s GX series lives up to the legend, and then some.
Common Applications. Pressure washers. Commercial lawn and garden equipment. Tillers / cultivators. Generators.
Forestry equipment. Construction / industrial equipment. Agricultural equipment. Small vehicles.
Water pumps. GX series engines offer premium features and quality.The SAE J1349 standard measures net horsepower with the manufacturer’s production muffler and air cleaner in place.
Net horsepower more closely correlates with the power the operator will experience when using a Honda engine powered product. The power rating of the engines indicated in this document measures the net power output at 3600 rpm (7000 rpm for model GXH50, GXV50, GX25 and GX35) and net torque at 2500 rpm, as tested on a production engine.
Mass production engines may vary from this value. Actual power output for the engine installed in the final machine will vary depending on numerous factors, including the operation speed of the engine in application, environmental conditions, maintenance and other variables. Compact combustion chamber, overhead cam design, and uniblock construction GC series, GS series A truly innovative combination of a compact combustion chamber, overhead cam configuration and uniblock construction significantly reduces fuel and oil consumption as compared to conventional side-valve engines. Honda’s simple design has made the GC and GS Series lighter and more compact than any engine in their class. Plus, simple construction has minimized the number of parts, making the engine more reliable and easier to operate.
Electronic Governor iGX Series The electronic governor minimizes governor droop. This increases available power. For most normal engines, available power is decreased when the engine is approaching wide open throttle. The iGX’s advanced electronic governor eliminates this by electronically controlling the throttle to achieve a higher effective power output. Full 360° 'any-side-up' operation Mini 4-Stroke Series The innovative design of Honda’s Mini 4-Stroke engines allows them to be used and stored in any position for full 360° usability. Upright, sideways, even upside down – the Mini 4-Strokes will still run great.
An exclusive Honda rotary-slinger lubrication system keeps oil in a completely misted state and circulates it using pressure fluctuations generated by the movement of the piston. Built-in passages effectively return the circulated oil to the oil reservoir from every part of the engine. An oil return port positioned in the center of the reservoir prevents oil from accidentally flowing into the combustion chamber.
Hemispherical Combustion Chamber V-twin Series Honda’s hemispherical combustion chamber was inspired by our proven racing technology. It offers the highest V-Twin compression ratio on the market. The power is transmitted through forged-steel connecting rods and a forged-steel crankshaft, supported by a full-pressure lubrication system. 9.3:1 compression ratio generates tremendous power. Excellent combustion efficiency. Allows a radial configuration to create high volumetric efficiency.
Places the spark plug near the center of the chamber for optimal flame travel. This means increased engine efficiency and more power to your application. Integrated Cylinder and Head V-twin Series The idea of integrating the cylinder & head into one unit is radical.
Radically smart. It eliminates the head gasket, head bolts, and allows for more airflow and better cooling. Speaking of cooling, improved cooling means better combustion management. Cooling is also improved by each of the lightweight aluminum pushrods being housed in a separate tube to achieve enhanced airflow. When you put it all together (with fewer parts) you get an engine with reduced emissions and greater-than-ever durability. Integrated ECU (electronic control unit) with a self-tuning regulator (STR) governor system iGX Series Honda iGX engines feature an integrated ECU (electronic control unit) with a self-tuning regulator (STR) governor system.
The innovative ECU monitors and controls engine functions including Throttle, Choke, Ignition Timing, and Oil Alert. On some models, it also offers programmable governor and throttle modes for unprecedented flexibility. A diagnostic LED helps with trouble shooting.
Stepper motors precisely control throttle and choke position. This allows the engine to communicate with the machine it is powering. Operation is automated. Control becomes surer, faster and easier. Enables drive-by-wire remote control operation of the engine, regulating functions such as starting, throttle, ignition timing and diagnostics. Engine speed can be programmed and varied based on the equipment application's load and speed requirement.
Easier for inexperienced users to operate. Easily maintained - Ideal for rental applications. Variable Timing Digital CDI Ignition GX240-390, V-Twin series, iGX series Honda’s Variable Timing Digital CDI ignition allows optimal ignition timing based on engine speed.
The result:. Excellent starting,.
High power output,. Reduced fuel consumption, and. Outstanding emissions performance. An engine rev limiter is also incorporated to prevent over-revving.
