The Honda G200 is a 197 cc (12.0 cu.in.) single-cylinder, air-cooled, four-stroke, internal combustion small gasoline engine manufactured by Honda Motor Company since 1977. The Honda G200 engine is used in a wide range of small-engine equipment, including lawn care, construction, and agriculture devices for both the consumer and professional markets.
This engine has a slide valve (L-head) design and camshaft driven by a single row chain driven by the crankshaft. The engine has an electric or recoil starter, horizontal carburetor with butterfly valve and transistorized magneto or contact point breaker (CDI) ignition system.
The compression ratio rating is 6.5:1, cylinder bore and piston stroke are 67.0 mm (2.64 in) and 56.0 mm (2.20 in), respectively.
The Honda G200 produced 5.0 PS (3.7 KW; 5.0 HP) at 3,600 rpm of maximum horsepower for CDI ignition models or 5.4 PS (4.0 KW; 5.4 HP) at 3,600 rpm for models with magneto ignition.
