Description
The GX270QXQ4 makes the step up to Honda’s 1″ shaft range with 270cc displacement and digital CDI variable ignition timing; a meaningful upgrade over the 3/4″ shaft units that delivers higher power output, reduced fuel consumption and improved emissions performance in demanding applications. Easy-grip soft recoil starting with automatic decompression makes it straightforward to get going, and Honda’s purpose-built components and environmental compliance come as standard across the GX series. The 1″ horizontal crankshaft suits the full range of heavy-duty applications such as construction equipment, tillers, generators, welders, pressure washers and industrial pumps.
