The Honda GX620 K1 is a 614 cc (37.5 cu·in) natural aspirated V-twin four-stroke air-cooled internal combustion small gasoline engine with a horizontal shaft, manufactured by Honda Motor Company for general-purpose applications. The GX610 used to concrete saws, pressure washers, chipper and shredders, trenchers, generators, vibratory rollers, ride-on cement trowels, lawn tractors
The Honda GX620 K1 engine has a V-twin, overhead valve (OHV) design and recoil starter or electric starter. This engine used horizontal type carburetor with butterfly valve, transistorized magneto ignition system, forced type lubricating system, and forced-air cooling system. The engine is fitted with the dual element air cleaner.
The Honda GX620 K1 engine produced 20.3 PS (14.9 kW; 20.0 HP) at 3,600 rpm of maximum output power and 44.1 N·m (4.5 kg·m, 32.5 ft·lb) at 2,500 rpm of peak torque.
