Both of my mowers are powered by GXV120 motors.
The beauty of them is a HR214S; one owner ex Ireland then NZ and recently bought by me. It's old and I love it.
The first Honda was a freeby I was given about 15 tears ago, a SupaSwift powered with a Honda GXV120. It was described as rebuilt but a smoker. So it lay in the leanto until 2 months back when i cleaned it down and gave it residence in the shed.
Last week it surprised the heck out of me.
Plus I have a couple of 'spare' units including another Honda powered no name that came without the pullstart. That is the one here http://www.lawnmowerforum.com/showthread.php/47572-Any-suggestions-on-what-might-ail-this-Honda
I have a couple of questions....
When were these motors first manufactured and how long was the production run on this model?
I note that the GXV120 and GXV140 share the same bore and stroke so is the extra capacity gained through a different head and /or piston design?
Is there parts interchange between the GXV120, GXV140 and GXV160?
Cheers,
