**Discountiued see Honda GX200 Range
Being the Flagship model in Honda's world-renowned GX Engine range, the GX160 can be used in all sorts of applications.
From Pressure Washers and Construction/Industrial equipment, to Tillers/Cultivators, Generators and Commercial Lawn & Garden Equipment, this bad boy has plenty of uses. Agricultural Equipment, Water Pumps, and even Go Karts, are powered by the GX160.
The GX160's Precision Camshaft design offers precise valve timing and optimal valve overlap for better fuel efficiency.
It draws on decades of Honda engineering with its OHV design, delivering increased efficiency and optimal power transfer for where you need it.
And the GX160 incorporates a high compression ratio for better fuel efficiency than its competitors.
A ball bearing-supported crankshaft and precision engineered components result in greater stability and lower vibration for you, no matter what the application.
The use of lightweight, noise-reducing materials and a forged steel crankshaft & rigid crankcase results in an exceptionally quiet engine that incorporates a large capacity, multi-chamber exhaust system.
And with a simple Throttle Control, large Fuel Tank and Automotive Type Fuel Cap, Dual Oil Drains and Fills, an easily accessible Spark Plug and Heavy Duty Recoil Starter, the GX160's features go on and on.
* The power rating of the engine indicated in this document is the net power output tested on a production engine for the engine model and measured in accordance with SAE J1349 at 3600 rpm. 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 operating speed of the engine in application, environmental conditions, maintenance and other variables.
