The Kohler ECV980 is a 999 cc, (61.0 cu·in) V-twin air-cooled four-stroke internal combustion gasoline engine from the Command PRO EFI series, manufactured by Kohler Co.
The Kohler ECV980 engine has an OHV (overhead valve) design, an aluminum block with cast iron cylinder liners, vertical PTO-shaft, pressurized lubrication system. This engine is equipped with an EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection) system and an electronic ignition system.
Cylinder bore and piston stroke are 90.0 mm (3.54 in) and 78.5 mm (3.09 in), respectively. Compression ratio rating is 8.8:1.
The ECV980 engine produces 38.5 PS (28.3 KW; 38.0 HP) at 3,600 rpm of horsepower and 71.9 Nm (7.3 kg·m; 53.0 ft·lb) at 3,200 rpm of torque.
The breakdown of the engine code is as follows:
- E – EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection)
- C – Command series
- V – Vertical PTO shaft
- 980 – Numerical designation
