I am kinda of stunned as this is a very small engine and I would have thought that Honda would be crowing about it’s light weight but I don’t see weight in the specs.Do you know what it is? Cheers, Brad.Brad.
The GX35 weighs 7.6 pounds dry. Also, it is OHC, not OHV. In the photo, you can clearly read “OHC” in the red shroud near the top of the engine.
can you send me details how to purches this machine and where any places in nepal loacation address contacts dealer and price. or india places.
please sir ?
