The GXH50/GXV50 engine series is distinguished by its sleeveless uniblock cylinder case, and lightweight single-cam-lobe OHV resin camshaft. The adoption of an aluminum sintered connecting rod, and a highly rigid cover in plastic make this high-speed, high-power 4-stroke engine the lightest in its category, and thus the best power source for hand-held equipment. Drawing upon Honda's extensive know-how in 4-stroke engines, this engine series not only meets the 1997 EPA standards but also already meets today the requirements set by CARB for the year 2000. This low-maintenance, easy-to-start engine series is thus not only very economical, but also very environment-friendly.

Both horizontal (GXH50) and vertical (GXV50) power take off (PTO) shaft types are available for a wide variety of applications as the power source for portable power generators, water pumps, home-use tillers, and other outboard engines.

Technical features:

• Very economical, rugged, high-speed, high-power engine producing 2.5PS at 7,000 rpm.
• Ultra-lightweight series weighing only 5.2 kg in vertical form (GXV50), and 5.5 kg in horizontal form (GXH50), thus easily clearing the 14kg fully equipped limit set by the EPA for the hand-held class.
• Butterfly-type carburetor and wide-range governor setting help modulate engine speed to meet a large variety of requirements and purposes.
• Simple mechanical-type decompression system for easy start-up.
