GX-series engines have low-oil shut-offs, which prevent damage to the engine. The GC160 engine has an aluminum bore where the GX-series have cast iron bores, giving the Honda GX- engines a longer life. GX-series have fuel-shutoff valve so that if they are run infrequently you can run the fuel out, which is easier on the carburetor. GX-series have on/off switch where the GC-series have on/off combined into the throttle control. You'll find a lot of metal on the GX-series and plastic on the GC. For example, the gas tank on the GC is plastic; on the GX-series it’s steel.
Well, that certainly explains the difference in cost between the GC and GX. Actually, I feel kinda silly because the answer should have been obvious.
Now, for the next question? How many Chonda GX clones or look alikes have a cast iron sleeve?
I am shooting an e-mail to Paul Cole at Champion. Hopefully I will soon get a reply for his product line.
