The Zongshen GB160 is a 0.2 L (163 cc, 9.95 cu·in) natural aspirated single-cylinder four-stroke air-cooled internal combustion small gasoline engine with a horizontal shaft from Zongshen GB-series, manufactured by Zongshen Power Co. for general-purpose applications.
The ZS GB160 engine has a single-cylinder, overhead valve (OHV) design, and recoil starter. This engine used a carburetor fuel system, transistorized magneto ignition system, splash type lubricating system, and forced-air cooling system. The ZS GB160 is equipped with a 2.6 L (0.69 US. gal. 0.57 Imp. gal.) fuel tank.
The Zongshen GB160 engine produced 4.4 PS (3.2 kW; 4.3 HP) at 3,600 rpm of maximum output power and 8.8 N·m (0.9 kg·m, 6.5 ft·lb) of peak torque.
