What the American Honda Motor Co. filings say about the engines
American Honda Motor Co.'s filings mix carburettors and fuel injection: 30 rows carburetted, 22 injected. The first injected family appears in 2010; in 2027 the split was 1 carburetted to 2 injected. Check which you have before buying anything on the fuel side.
The engine codes on American Honda Motor Co.'s test vehicles —9 distinct across the filings — are led by K1K1, K1J1, N1E1, PAM1 and D1J1. The code is stamped on the crankcase and is a better search term than the badge.
48 of the 52 filings are 50-state (California-legal); the other 4 were 49-state only.
Rated power across the range runs from 2.2 kW to 9.3 kW (about 3 to 12 hp).
The vehicle builders named are SUNDIRO HONDA MOTORCYCLE CO.,LTD., Sundiro Honda Motorcycle Co., Ltd., Sundiro Honda Motor Co., Ltd. and Honda de Mexico S.A. de C.V. and others — the chassis and the engine do not always share a source.
Each figure is read straight off the EPA certificate rows; the per-family pages below carry the full breakdown for every engine family.
