Engine Technical Information

This is a single cylinder, overhead valve(OHV), air cooled engine. It is a low emissions engine.

In the State of California, Model Series 200000 engines are certified by the California Air Resources Board to meet emissions standards for 250 hours. Such certification does not grant the purchaser, owner or operator of this engine any additional warranties with respect to the performance or operational life of this engine. The engine is warranted solely according to the product and emissions warranties stated elsewhere in this manual.

Power Ratings

*The gross power rating labels for individual gas engine models meet or exceed SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) code J1940 (Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure) and rating performance has been obtained and corrected in accordance with SAE J1995 (Revision 2002-05). Actual gross engine power may be lower and is affected by, but not limited to, ambient operating conditions and engine to engine variability. Given both the wide array of products on which engines are placed, and the variety of environmental issues applicable to operating the equipment, the gas engine will not develop the rated gross power when used in a given piece of power equipment (actual “on-site” or net horsepower). This difference is due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, accessories (air cleaner, exhaust, charging, cooling, carburetor, fuel pump, etc.), application limitations, ambient operating conditions (temperature, humidity, altitude), and engine to engine variability.
