Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Engine codes

Question
Does anyone know how to tell when a GX270 was built or even know the build codes and their locations?

Answer
Honda doesn't have a public listing but they do have their own. If you contact the consumer line in Alphretta Georgia or possibly by going to their on line site, if you get hold of the right person they can tell you. Have got that info from the tech line so I know they have it.
They have a ton of info available by getting hold of the right person back there. One time I needed the frame serial number for a gen-set that was missing but needed it to order the right part. With the engine serial number they were able to tell me the exact frame number, its all on their computer look up and only takes a few seconds.

The link below explains the model number but not much info on the serial number.
