It's a variable speed controlled by a cable/wire mounted on the handle bar of the machine it is mounted onto, just like almost all trimmers and mowers. I just used the original cable that was already on the DR Trimmer.

Is this a variable speed or constant speed that requires extra throtal & running cables

According to the owner's manual there are several throttle configurations for the GSV190, one of which is fixed-speed, but the GSV190LAN1L that I got from Northern is variable speed. At the high end of the mechanism's travel the choke is closed, and at the low end the ignition shutoff is actuated. Yes, you will need a throttle control and cable. See my review for more comments on throttle setup.

Is the mounting bolt circle really 8.5" as listed or is it the standard 8"? All the drawings for similar honda engines show 8".
-
RolandW· 7 years ago
The GSV190LAN1L that I got from Northern has an 8" bolt circle, which is what the description said at the time I ordered it. The four holes are about .350" diameter, not tapped, and not equally spaced.

Is there any reason why this Engine will not work on a log splitter
1 answer-
ProductExpert12· 5 years ago
The GSV model engines are not equipped with a heavy fly wheel, so although it could work, the GCV model engines would be better suited for use on a log splitter. We do offer item 704363 which can be ordered through our parts department by calling 1.800.657.0516.
