Description
Powerful, Simple, Reliable Power
The All-New GCV170 pressure washer engine delivers more power and more torque for premium residential applications, along with a range of technological attributes, innovative features and a simple design that make the new model even more reliable and easier to operate and maintain.
Common Applications
- Pressure washers
Fuel Efficient, High Output Operation
- Overhead valve (OHV) configuration and pent roof design increase combustion efficiency, allowing for higher compression ratios and greater power output.
- Powerful torque across a wide RPM range helps reduce engine speed drop from sudden load increases.
Compact and Lightweight
- One of the lightest OHV engines in their class
- Simplified engine layout makes quick work of disassembly with fewer tools and quicker repairs
Quiet, Smooth Performance
- Optimized muffler structure reduces engine noise and improves operator comfort
- Enhanced crankshaft balance results in lower vibration
Proven Reliability
- High quality materials and purpose built components ensure reliable long term use
- Fuel-Off position allows user to run carburetor out of fuel making it less susceptible to contamination
Easy to Use and Maintain
- Auto Choke System eliminates manual operation making it easy to use for all operators
- Large diameter fuel opening reduces potential spills and makes refueling easier
- Long oil tube makes draining and filling quick and easy
- Easily accessible spark plug
Easy Starting
- Cycloflow™ technology enhances the air-fuel mixture making the engine more resilient to low quality fuels and makes starting easier
- Simplified structure and optimized location of wax element improves heat transfer and makes for easier engine starting in all conditions
- Automatic mechanical decompression
- Electronic ignition
Emissions Compliant
- Built in charcoal canister in fuel cap
