The Kohler CV173 engine has an OHV (overhead valve) design, an aluminum block with cast iron cylinder liners, vertical PTO-shaft, full-pressurized lubrication system. This engine is equipped with a fixed main jet carburetor and dependable electronic magneto ignition system.
A 70.0 mm (2.75 in) cylinder bore and 45.0 mm (1.80 in) piston stroke give the CV173 engine a total of 173 cc of displacement. The compression ratio rating is 8.0:1.
This engine produces 10.5 Nm (1.07 kg·m; 7.75 ft·lb) at 2,600 rpm of peak torque.
The breakdown of the engine code is as follows:
- C – Command series
- V – Vertical PTO shaft
- 173 – Numerical designation
