Features
The all-new Honda GX50 engine integrates a number of features that add up to high performance combined with an improved user experience. With a maximum output of 1.47kW (1.97 horsepower) and weight of 4.72 kg (10.4 lbs.), the power-to-weight ratio of the Honda GX50 is equal to a comparable two-stroke engine; however, the GX50 produces lower emissions while being more fuel efficient. With low emissions and excellent fuel efficiency, the Honda GX50 complies with the most stringent environmental regulations, including EPA Phase III/CARB tier III/EU Stage 5.
Turning to usability, the Honda GX50 engine is easy to start with an automatic decompressor reducing the pulling force on the recoil rope. The all-new mini-four stroke model also is easy to operate because it is lighter in weight, quieter and incorporates reduced vibration over a comparable two-stroke engine. In turn, reducing weight, noise and vibration reduces stress on the operator, makes the equipment more comfortable to use, and increases worker efficiency—all while producing top-class performance.
Rounding out the engine's footprint and benefits that customers will appreciate, the Honda GX50 features a condensed, compact design with long, vertical lines, and its attachments and connectors share an integrated, slanted shape. Equally important, the all-new GX50 is 360-degrees inclinable (see discussion below), allowing it to be operated and stored in any position. Further, the engine integrates an innovative Bridge Guard Design, a wide, scratch-resistant area with protruding edges that provides stability and serves to protect the engine cowling in upside down positions during maintenance intervals.
