The Honda GX200 T2/UT2 is a 196 cc (12.0 cu-in) single-cylinder inclined by 25° air-cooled 4-stroke internal combustion small gasoline engine with horizontal shaft manufactured by Honda Motor Company for general-purpose applications, such as commercial lawn and garden equipment, tillers and cultivators, generators, construction and industrial equipment, agricultural equipment and water pumps.
The Honda GX200 T2/UT2 engine has an OHV (overhead valve) design; high compression ratio for better fuel efficiency; horizontal type carburetor with butterfly valve; mechanical centrifugal governor; forced splash lubrication system; heavy-duty recoil or recoil and electric starter and C.D.I. (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) type magneto ignition. The engine can be equipped with a dual silent type or a cyclone-type air cleaner.
The cylinder bore is 68.0 mm (2.7 in) and the piston stroke is 54.0 mm (2.1 in), compression ratio rating is 8.5:1. The Honda GX200T2 engine produced 5.6 HP (4.1 kW) at 3,600 rpm of maximum horsepower and 5.0 HP (3.7 kW) at 3,600 rpm of continuous rated power. Maximum torque is 12.4 N·m (1.3 kg·m, 9.0 ft·lb) at 2,500 rpm.

Great info but I have one question not covered. I accidently jarred the camshaft gear free of the crankshaft gear while installing new piston and I’m not sure if I got it back in exactly the right place. I found the timing mark on camshaft but all I could find on crankshaft is a tiny 0 on one tooth. Does this crankshaft tooth fit in the timing mark groove on the camshaft. Any help is greatly appreciated.
It must be something like that:
Yes
Had a conrod failure. The gx200 and the gx200 t2 have different crankshafts, but do they use the same conrod? Confused as found 13200-zot-305 that says for t2
ITC brand electrical industrial plug and sockets.
I just purchased a GX200 Stock Crankshaft, but need to know the snout bolt size requirement?
Good day I’m trim to get a honda small engine number explained, I’m trying to get a replacement engine GX200, I’m wondering if I can get this number defined pls!
GX200 UT3 SH Q4
It would be greatly appreciated
