The Zongshen ZS 177F(E) is a 0.3 L (270 cc, 16.48 cu·in) natural aspirated single-cylinder four-stroke air-cooled internal combustion small gasoline engine with a horizontal shaft, manufactured by Zongshen Power Co. for general-purpose applications.
The ZS 177F(E) engine has a single-cylinder, overhead valve (OHV) design, and recoil starter (177F) or electric starter (177FE). This engine used a carburetor fuel system, transistorized magneto ignition system, splash type lubricating system, and forced-air cooling system. The ZS 177F(E) is equipped with a 5.2 L (1.37 US. gal. 1.14 Imp. gal.) fuel tank.
The ZS 177F(E) engine produced 7.9 PS (5.8 kW; 7.8 HP) at 3,600 rpm of maximum horsepower and 15.8 N·m (1.6 kg·m, 11.6 ft·lb) of maximum torque.
