You know they could have done like Wisconsin used to do and gave the engine HP at the different RPM levels instead of using one specific HP number.
I've got a VE4 Wisconsin torn down right now. It's a 3" bore, a 3 1/4" stroke which makes it having 91.9 cu inches. If you look at the chart in the manual it's rated anywhere from 13HP @ 1400 RPM to 21.5 HP @ 2400 RPM. Hey that's an 8.5 HP difference they "admit" to so it looks to me like there's nothing underhanded and hidden about those ratings is there? I guess the problem is that this engine was built in the 50's and some people/companies tended to use a bit of common sense back then.
If MFGS/s nowdays would simply give their engines honest ratings like this then we'd all be better off than we are with the cubic inch BS our illustrious government is cramming down our throats now. If the 'we know better than you crowd" in DC wanted to do something RIGHT for a change all they had to do was require a rating like Wisconsin used and then there would be no confusion...
Wait a minute, that wouldn't work either because that 13 HP - 21.5 HP might only be at .99999inches above sea level, and at exactly 70.999999999999 degrees. Problem is though is any any of those parameters are changed the slightest bit and a customer lost .0000001 HP then some lawyer would happily sue claiming they misrepresented their product.vinstead they just tell us a displacement and let us make a guestimation as to the HP we MIGHT get out of the engine. By doing this we are more likely to buy a larger engine than we need, spending more money as a result, along with creating more polution from the larger engine.................
OH well, I guess it's about time to for all of us to go to Washington and practice our "3 S'es" .....LOL .

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: Winterizing Engines - To Drain or Not to Drain? - by Russ Berry. What is this strange attraction I have to equipment and machinery? How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
