Honda's current published figure is 4.8 HP net under SAE J1349, measured with the production muffler and air cleaner fitted. The engine did not change, only the convention for quoting its output. If you are replacing a 5.5 HP GX160, this is the right engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRecoil start only\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the QX2 configuration, recoil start with no electric starter and no charging system. On a small compressor or a compactor that is almost always what is wanted, since there is no battery on the machine to charge. If you need a 12 volt start at this size, tell us and we will look at what is available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRepowering a small compressor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things to check. First the shaft: this is the 3\/4 in Q-type keyed shaft with a 3\/16 in keyway, which is what small compressor sheaves in this class are bored for. A 1 in shaft engine will not drop in without a new sheave. Second, the unloader and idler arrangement, since a gas compressor needs to start unloaded. Tell us the compressor and we will confirm the shaft, the sheave and the idler before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTypical applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall engine-driven air compressors, wheelbarrow and skid compressors, plate compactors, trash and transfer pumps, pressure washers, small generators and general light construction equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Honda GX160 is a 163cc OHV commercial gas engine with a 3\/4 in keyed horizontal shaft and recoil start. Tell the Warthog Air Compressor Store team what machine it is going on and we will make sure the shaft and the drive match before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AirComParts","offers":[{"title":"GX160-UT1QX2, Recoil Start, 3\/4 in Shaft","offer_id":67706179289363,"sku":"M5550","price":627.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/3141\/8387\/files\/honda-gx160-5-5-hp-gas-engine.jpg?v=1794245969","url":"https:\/\/aircompressorstore.com\/products\/honda-gx160-5-5-hp-gas-engine-163cc-3-4-in-keyed-shaft","provider":"Warthog Air Compressor Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
