Kubota Z402-EB

Kubota Z402-EBThe Kubota Z402-EB is a 400 cc (24.41 cu·in) straight-two, water-cooled naturally aspirated diesel engine manufactured by Kubota.

The Kubota Z402-EB engine has a spherical type сombustion сhamber with a glow plug. The cylinder bore is 64.0 mm (2.52 in) and the piston stroke is 62.2 mm (2.45 in). The compression ratio rating is 23.0:1.

The Z402-EB diesel engine produced 8.6 PS (6.3 KW; 8.4 HP) at 3,000 rpm of net intermittent power and 8.8 PS (6.5 KW; 8.7 HP) at 3,000 rpm of gross intermittent power.

The breakdown of the engine code is as follows:

  • Z – 2-cylinders
  • 402 – Approximate displacement 400 cc
  • EB – Early industrial diesel
