Honda GCV160 Specifications
The Honda GCV160 is a small (160 cc, 9.8 cubic inches) one-cylinder air-cooled 4-cycle internal combustion gasoline engine with vertical shaft,
manufactured by Honda Motor Company since 1997 for general-purpose applications such as: pressure washers, lawn mowers, agricultural
equipment, forestry equipment.
This engine has a one-cylinder, compact combustion chamber, OHC design minimizes valvetrain and gear noise, uni-block construction reduce fuel
consumption. The Honda GCV160 engine has transistorized magneto ignition, horizontal type carburetor with butterfly valve, and recoil starter.
Cylinder bore and piston stroke are 64.0 mm (2.5 in) and 50.0 mm (2.0 in). The compression ratio rating is 8.5:1. It produces 4.5 PS (3.3 KW; 4.4
HP) at 3,600 rpm and 9.4 Nm (0.96 kgm; 6.94 ft-lb) of torque at 2,500 rpm.
