The Kohler ECV680 is a 694 cc, (42.4 cu·in) V-twin air-cooled four-stroke internal combustion gasoline engine from the Command PRO EFI series, manufactured by Kohler Co.
The Kohler ECV680 engine has an OHV (overhead valve) design, an aluminum block with cast iron cylinder liners, a vertical PTO-shaft, pressurized lubrication system. This engine is equipped with an EFI (electronic fuel injection) system and electronic ignition system.
The cylinder bore and the piston stroke are 80.0 mm (3.15 in) and 69.0 mm (2.72 in), respectively. Compression ratio rating is 8.7:1.
The Kohler ECV680 engine produced 23.4 PS (17.2 KW; 23.0 HP) at 3,600 rpm of horsepower and 49.2 Nm (5.0 kg·m; 36.3 ft·lb) at 2,600 rpm of torque.
The breakdown of the engine code is as follows:
- E – EFI
- C – Command series
- V – Vertical PTO shaft
- 680 – Numerical designation
