Parts Catalogs for the Honda GX240 Series General Purpose Engines

About type numbers:
These are the letters and numbers after the model designation, for example the QXE in GX240 QXE. These give information about the features of the engine. The first letter usually refers to the PTO type:

Q or D = Standard PTO (US)
V = Tapered
P or T = Threaded
E = Generator Engine
H = 6:1 Gear Reduction
L = 2:1 Gear Reduction
R = 2:1 Gear Reduction w/clutch

That's simple enough but, as you may know, Honda doesn't usually make things simple. The meanings of subsequent letters and numbers are not always constant through Honda's entire engine line. They indicate air cleaner type, carburetor type, throttle type, etc. The best way to tell which one you have is to look on the side of the block. If you're lucky, there'll be a type indication just above the serial number:

If the number isn't here, there may be no way to tell exactly which type you've got without a very extensive examination of the features of your engine.
