The Zongshen ZS 188F(E) is a 0.4 L (389 cc, 23.74 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 188F(E) engine has a single-cylinder, overhead valve (OHV) design, and recoil starter (188F) or electric starter (188FE). This engine used a carburetor fuel system, transistorized magneto ignition system, splash type lubricating system, and forced-air cooling system. The ZS 188F(E) is equipped with a 5.2 L (1.37 US. gal. 1.14 Imp. gal.) fuel tank.
The Zongshen ZS 188F(E) engine produced 10.1 PS (7.4 kW; 9.9 HP) at 3,600 rpm of maximum output power and 22.0 N·m (2.2 kg·m, 16.2 ft·lb) of peak torque.
