The Kohler ECH980 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 ECH980 engine has an OHV (overhead valve) design, an aluminum block with cast iron cylinder liners, horizontal 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 ECH980 engine produces 38.5 PS (28.3 KW; 38.0 HP) at 3,600 rpm of horsepower and 78.6 Nm (8.0 kg·m; 58.0 ft·lb) at 3,400 rpm of torque.
The breakdown of the engine code is as follows:
- E – EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection)
- C – Command series
- H – Horizontal PTO shaft
- 980 – Numerical designation
