In 1983, Honda Motor Company developed a revolutionary new 4-stroke, overhead valve
engine that defined the future of small engine technology.
Now, almost 27 years later, Honda introduces the next generation of GX engines by
offering more power, more quiet, less fuel consumption and less emissions than ever
before. All this in a configuration that doesn’t require modifications to
equipment currently set up for the current GX Series.
More Power
The new Honda GX Series engines offer up to 6% more power over
the original models. The increase in power is achieved through several innovative
improvements.
- The new GX series now employs a digital CDI ignition system to dramatically improve
ignition timing.
- The compression ratio has been increased
- Combustion air flow has been enhanced through a more efficient air cleaner design
that reduces air flow restriction.
Less Noise
You’ll enjoy noise reduction levels ranging from 2.5 to 8db
thanks to Honda’s re-designed air cleaner and muffler. Vibration levels have
also been reduced through the use of an all new, light weight piston.
Less Fuel
Fuel consumption has been reduced by 10% through dramatically improved
combustion efficiency. The new GX series offers:
- Improved ignition timing
- Smaller inlet port and
- Increased compression ratio.
This means longer runs times and lower fuel costs for Honda owners.
Same “Footprint”
OEMs can pass along new improvements and features without having to worry about
costly and time consuming product modifications. New GX Series models have the
exact footprint and fit into the same envelope as their similarly sized predecessors.
EPA Phase 3 Ready!
Once again, Honda leads the way in offering power solutions that meet EPA Phase
3 emission regulations well ahead of schedule.
Even more importantly, Honda GX engines meet these regulations without the need
for a catalyst.
