Introducing the GX50
MAKE LIGHT WORK OF HARD TASKS
Honda's GX50 general-purpose engine expands our Mini-Four Stroke lineup with a model that offers high output and light weight—extending into more demanding commercial and rental applications with excellent fuel efficiency. Featuring a compact and lightweight design, the GX50 is the first Honda four-stroke model in the two-horsepower class that is 360-degrees inclinable during operation and storage. The GX50 is also well-known for powering Commercial lawn and garden equipment, Tillers / cultivators , Water Pumps, Agricultural Equipment and Construction/Industrial Equipment. When you see the GX50 powering Honda-branded handheld equipment like brushcutters and blowers, you know you're getting a premium engine.
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
4-stroke - no fuel/oil mixing. Higher output engine, with a power-to-weight ratio matched to leading two-stroke models. Full 360° "any-side-up" operation - use and store in any position. Exclusive rotary-slinger lubrication system.
SMOOTH PERFORMANCE
Precision engineered components and a lighter piston results in lower vibration. Lighter piston minimizes vibration. Ball bearing supported crankshaft for greater stability. Roller bearing supported connecting rod.
PROVEN RELIABILITY
High quality materials, fit, and finish. Lifetime timing belt design. Integrated fuel system protection. Diaphragm carburetor. Scratch-resistant Bridge Guard Design provides stability and protects the engine cowling in upside down positions.
EASY STARTING
Exhaust decompression system. Unique low inertia design.
FUEL EFFICIENT, HIGH OUTPUT OPERATION
Approximately half the operating cost of comparable 2-stroke engines. Efficient port configuration and large diameter valves maximise power output. Lighter, more rigid valve train. Carburetor equipped with acceleration pump for fast, easy acceleration.
EXCEPTIONALLY QUIET
Belt-driven OHC design reduces mechanical noise. Large capacity, multi-chamber exhaust system. Sophisticated air intake system.
EASY TO USE AND MAINTAIN
Easily accessible spark plug. Easy to drain and re-fill oil. No mixing of gas and oil.
