The Kohler PCV850 is a 824 cc, (50.3 cu·in) V-twin air-cooled four-stroke internal combustion propane engine from the Command PRO EFI Propane series, manufactured by Kohler Co.
The Kohler PCV850 engine has an OHV (overhead valve) design, an aluminum block with cast iron cylinder liners, a vertical PTO-shaft, pressurized lubrication system. This engine is equipped with an EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection) system and electronic ignition system, an electronic governor or a mechanical governor.
The cylinder bore and the piston stroke are 86.0 mm (3.40 in) and 71.0 mm (2.80 in), respectively. Compression ratio rating is 8.9:1.
The Kohler PCV850 engine produced 27.3 PS (20.1 KW; 27.0 HP) at 3,600 rpm of horsepower and 61.2 Nm (6.2 kg·m; 45.2 ft·lb) at 2,400 rpm of peak torque.
The breakdown of the engine code is as follows:
- P – EFI Propane series
- C – Command series
- V – Vertical PTO shaft
- 850 – Numerical designation
