A 389cc single-cylinder OHV commercial engine with a cast iron cylinder sleeve, a ball-bearing supported crankshaft and a reputation for starting on the second pull after a winter in an unheated shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis listing covers both starting configurations on the same engine. The electric-start version carries a 12 volt starter and charging system with recoil as backup, which is what a truck-mounted or trailer compressor wants. The recoil-only version is the same engine without the starter, battery or charging circuit, and costs substantially less if your machine has no 12 volt system to begin with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDisplacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e 389 cc (24 cu in), single cylinder OHV, air cooled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBore x stroke:\u003c\/strong\u003e 88 x 64 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNet power:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.7 HP (8.7 kW) at 3,600 RPM, SAE J1349 net\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNet torque:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19.5 lb-ft (26.5 Nm) at 2,500 RPM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShaft:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 in diameter x 3-31\/64 in, straight keyed horizontal, tapped 3\/8-24 UNF, 1\/4 in keyway\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFuel tank:\u003c\/strong\u003e approximately 1.6 US gallons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOil capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.16 US quarts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDry weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e approximately 69 lb recoil, approximately 75 lb with the electric starter fitted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the 13 HP figure\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GX390 is universally known as a 13 HP engine and that is how the compressor industry specifies it, so that is how it is listed here. It is worth knowing that 13 HP is the legacy gross rating. Honda's current published figure for this engine is 11.7 HP net under SAE J1349, measured with the production muffler and air cleaner fitted. Nothing about the engine changed, only the way the rating is quoted. If you are replacing a 13 HP GX390 on an existing machine, this is the same engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich start do you need\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e12V electric with recoil (M5035):\u003c\/strong\u003e choose this to replace an electric-start engine, or on any unit with a battery, a key switch and a charging circuit.

First, shaft diameter and length: this is the 1 in Q-type shaft, which is what most 8 to 13 HP compressor sheaves are bored for. Second, your idler and unloader arrangement, because a gas compressor needs to start unloaded and the idler assembly is engine-specific. Third, the mounting pattern and belt centre distance. We stock the matching engine idler assembly for the GX390 and the adapter plates and motor rails that go with it, so tell us the compressor and we will make sure the whole set goes together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTypical applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eService truck and trailer air compressors, portable wheelbarrow and skid compressors, pressure washers, generators, pumps, plate compactors and general construction equipment in the 10 to 13 HP class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Honda GX390 is a 389cc OHV commercial gas engine with a 1 in keyed horizontal shaft, available here in 12 volt electric start with recoil or recoil only. Tell the Warthog Air Compressor Store team what machine it is going on and we will confirm the shaft, the idler and the mounting before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AirComParts","offers":[{"title":"12V Electric with Recoil","offer_id":67706169196819,"sku":"M5035","price":1454.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Recoil Only","offer_id":67706169229587,"sku":"M5039","price":1124.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/3141\/8387\/files\/honda-gx390-13-hp-gas-engine.jpg?v=1794245968","url":"https:\/\/aircompressorstore.com\/products\/honda-gx390-13-hp-gas-engine-389cc-1-in-keyed-shaft","provider":"Warthog Air Compressor Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
