Honda V-Twin Engines

Welcome to the Next Generation of Honda

V-Twin Technology
Like the rest of the models in Hondas extensive lineup of GX general purpose engines, these newly redesigned Honda V-twins offer the kind of high power, easy usability, and all-around hardworking toughness the world has come to expect from Honda. Their 4-stroke OHV combustion ensures reliable, easy starting and smooth, stable power output, not to mention cleaner emissions and reduced noise and vibration. Designed for versatility, including PTO shaft variations and mounting flanges conforming to all SAE standards, their user-friendly high reliability, functionality, and flexibility make them the perfect choice for a vast range of applications.

Reliable and Easy To Use

Improved Starting and Reliability Highly reliable shift-type electric starter ensures easy starting even in extreme cold down to -30C. Transistorized magneto ignition equipped with a 12V-20A AC generator provides dependable battery charging capacity even during idling. Optional recoil starter available for GX/GXV610K1 and GX/GXV620K1. Centrifugal mechanical decompression ensures smooth, easy starts. Automotive-style lubrication system featuring a high-pressure trochoid pump and cartridge-style air filter ensures high durability. Optional Auto Throttle Electronic solenoid-activated system for quick throttle response in generator applications.

Highly Efficient 90 V-Twin OHV Format The 90 V-twin OHV format featuring an advanced combustion chamber design and superior intake and exhaust efficiency combines the ordinarily opposed elements of good fuel economy and high power output at the highest possible levels. An advanced breather design and 3-piece oil ring improve oil circulation efficiency for lower oil consumption. The result is excellent reliability plus reduced running and maintenance costs.

Stable Governor Performance Separate-shaft governor optimized by a needle-bearing-supported output shaft helps smooth out engine speed fluctuations caused by varying loads. Large-Capacity Air Cleaner Compact, large-capacity, Honda automotive-style air cleaner ensures efficient intake of cooler, denser air to suppress potential power degradation caused by the intake of hot air. Generous 3,100cm2 cleaning element surface area and low-positioned air intake port help reduce aircleaner dust build-up.

Low Vibration
Honda-developed highstrength sintered aluminum connecting rods reduce weight in overlap areas to minimize vibration caused by the cylinder offset. Compact 90 V-twin configuration contributes to overall compactness and extremely low-vibration operation.

Clean Running
Clears Strict CARB and EPA Emissions Regulations V-twin series Honda engines featuring high-efficiency OHV combustion and a compact semi-hemispherical combustion chamber design already clear the CARB emissions regulations that are currently the strictest in the world, and will also clear the even tougher EPA regulations that will take effect in 2001.
EPA = U.S. Environmental Protection Agency CARB = California Air Resources Board

Low Noise
Cam and oil pump gears made of lightweight, durable, heat-resistant resin minimize gear-meshing noise. Plastic resin fan cover helps screen out engine noise. All-resin Scirocco cooling fan features irregular-pitch blades to minimize fan noise. Improved crankcase rigidity, extradurable crankshaft, and optimized cam shape reduce mechanical noise and contribute to quieter, smoother continuous operation.

Honda Power With a Clear Advantage.

New Features Improve Power and Reliability for the GX670!

Oil Cooler In addition to their highpressure automotivestyle lubrication system and cartridge-type air filter, the new V-twin GXs come equipped with a forced-air oil cooler that constantly maintains optimum oil temperature to ensure consistently smooth, powerful performance even during extended operation. Twin-Barrel Carburetor In addition to a diaphragm fuel pump that automatically supplies exactly the right amount of fuel, the carburetor itself features twin valves that reduce air-intake resistance to ensure consistently high power output and stable operation.

Powerful, Compact

OHC V-Twin Engines

Ideal for home lawn tractors
In the GXV530, Honda has combined the power and durability of its 90 V-twin 2-cylinder engines with a space-saving overhead cam (OHC) design to create highly compact engines offering low vibration, low noise, cleaner exhaust, excellent reliability, and 530cc worth of high power output ideal for power-hungry applications such as home lawn tractors. Backed by Hondas world-renowned engine-building experience, the GXV530 offers a high-level fusion of superior power, reliability and cost performance guaranteed to convince the most demanding users.

Powerful Performance
Extra-large 530cc displacement assures big power output and easy-to-use flat torque performance across the power band.

Lower Exhaust Emissions

Four-stroke combustion, air resistancereducing twin-barrel carburetors, and extra compact combustion chambers with centerpositioned spark plugs all combine to promote more efficient, more complete fuel combustion providing low emission levels that clear CARB standards and are even below EPA 2006 levels.
EPA = U.S. Environmental Protection Agency CARB = California Air Resources Board

User-Friendly Low Vibration

A primary vibration-cancelling 90 V-twin cylinder layout and specially developed high-strength sintered-aluminum connecting rods that minimize cylinder offset and eliminate excess weight combine to reduce overall vibration to some of the lowest in the class.

Advanced Lubrication Technology

The GXV530 features Hondas latest and most advanced lubrication system. QuadraLube Plus delivers oil to critical engine components through both pressure and splash lubrication. First, governor slinger paddles splash oil on the connecting rods, pistons, cylinders and upper ball bearing. Second, two timing belts carry oil to the cylinder heads lubricating the valve area. Plus, oil is pressure-fed to both connecting rod big ends and the crankshaft lower bearing. Finally, the oil pump forces lubrication through the Honda automotive-type oil filter to ensure a consistent supply of clean oil. This advanced oil delivery system allows the GXV530 to offer superior lubrication, reduced engine weight, quiet operation and a more compact design.

Pleasant Low-Noise Operation

Honda-developed built-in OHC timing belts, lightweight resin cams, and an

extra-quiet turbo cooling fan reduce engine noise to an absolute minimum, enhancing the smoother operating sound already inherent in the 2-cylinder V-twin layout.

Compact OHC Design

Cams positioned to the side of the valves (instead of above) makes GXV530 considerably more compact than conventional OHC models.
