G C S E R I E S
Honda Auto Choke System
This system has been developed for use on GVC160
and GVC190 engines in fixed-throttle lawnmower
applications. This user-friendly system is truly
automatic, eliminating levers and cables. The engine
starts easily whether cold or hot and is ready to use
immediately. Once the engine is up and running,
the Auto Choke automatically returns to an optimal
operating position.
Reduced maintenance
and fuel consumption
A truly innovative combination of a compact
combustion chamber, overhead cam configuration
and uniblock construction significantly reduces fuel
and oil consumption as compared to con ventional
side-valve engines. Honda’s DuaLube
™
System
achieves full engine lubrication by combining
governor slinger paddles and an oil-delivering
timing belt. Also, simple construction reduces many
potential maintenance needs, making Honda’s GC
engine one of the most efficient and cost-effective
engines available.
Superior efficiency and performance
in a smaller package
As the name implies, overhead cam (OHC) engines have
their camshafts positioned in the cylinder head above
the combustion chamber. Valves are located in the roof
of the combustion chamber (instead of at the side) to offer
the same combustion-related advantages as OHV engines.
The OHC layout builds on these advantages by reducing
the number of valvetrain components and allowing them
to be lighter and stronger, thereby making the engine more
compact and lightweight overall.
