Introducing the GX690
COMMON APPLICATIONS
Honda's V-Twin range of engines are the cream of the crop, powering Pressure Washers, Water Pumps and Commercial Lawn & Garden Equipment across Australia. The GX690 V-Twin can also be found in Tillers/Cultivators and other Agricultural Equipment, as well as Generators in many different applications. And if it's something more demanding that you need power for, the GX690 is also used in the Forestry and Construction/Industrial industries.
FUEL EFFICIENT OPERATION
The fuel economy of the GX690 V-Twin is similar to fuel injection, with the simplicity of carburetion ensuring that running this unit is easy on both your pocket and the environment. It features a digital CDI ignition system with variable timing, as well as a forged steel crankshaft and insert style rod bearings for efficient operation. And a two barrel inner-vent carburetor for more precise fuel metering, and the 9.3:1 compression ratio generates high power output without the need for premium fuel.
PROVEN RELIABILITY
The GX690's high capacity pump facilitates consistent oil delivery, and a handy Oil Alert will keep you posted if you look like running dry. There's a dual cylindrical air filter, and a large diamteter air intake on board for superior cooling. The result is a long-lasting, high-performing and reliable engine.
3 YEAR WARRANTY
Don't forget, all Honda V-Twin Engines are covered by a Honda 3 Year Domestic & Commercial Warranty. Honda has a network of 450+ authorised dealers around Australia, so should you need parts, accessories, or maintenance done, you're not alone. You can work your GX690 V-Twin as hard as you want. It's built to last.
