Honda GX140

Honda GX140 engineThe Honda GX140 is a 144 cc, (8.8 cu-in) single-cylinder air-cooled four-stroke internal combustion gasoline engine manufactured by Honda Motor Company since 1983 for general-purpose applications, such as pressure washers, commercial lawn and garden equipment, tillers and cultivators, generators, construction or industrial equipment, agricultural equipment, small vehicles, water pumps.

The Honda GX140 engine has a single cylinder inclined by 25°, an overhead valve (OHV) design for increased efficiency and optimal power transfer, a sophisticated air intake system, large capacity, a multi-chamber exhaust system, and a heavy-duty recoil starter. This engine used a horizontal type carburetor with butterfly valve, transistorized magneto ignition system, splash type lubricating system, and forced-air cooling system. The engine used a dual element (dry/semidry) air cleaner.

The GX140 engine produces 3.6 kW (5.0 PS) at 4,000 rpm of maximum output power and 9.8 N·m (1.0 kg·m, 7.7 ft·lb) at 2,800 rpm of peak torque.
