On a valve-in-block 8HP with an RJ19LM or equivalent plug, it is 0.030"
Briggs straitton
It is around a 5 hp. *this is incorrect: the ones they sell currently would be more in the 7.5-8hp range, seeing as an equally featured 190cc briggs and stratton engine is 6.75hp on a lawn mower the additional 15cc bump it up to around 8hp.
Capacity is 36 ounces. I highly recommend you use Synthetic oil in this air cooled engine. Change it once each year.
318cc. is 8hp. 305cc.is probably between a 6 to an 8hp.
There are two types, both on the camshaft. Lower HP (around 8HP or less) typically have a lobe with a bump on it that keeps a valve (often the exhaust) open at RPMS under 250, aiding in starting because the valve does not fully close) Larger engines have a counterweight on the cam that swings "up" at the same RPMs are "removes" the high spot achieving the same affect as above.
Depends on the engine. Generally between a pint and a quart. A Briggs and Straton 8hp takes about 24oz. Kohler or TecumsehPower should be close to that as well. If you are changing the oil and the engine has a dipstick, I would put in a pint (16oz) and then check the stick. If it is still low, I would add about 2oz at a time and check again until it does read full. If it is older and does not have a dipstick, just fill it until the oil comes right to the mouth of the fill opening.
Not very fast, possibly about 25 mph.
that type of engine solely depends on the person on it. With the average man on it (180ib) or bigger than you are looking at 50-80 mph 180-190=70 -80mph for every 5 pounds bigger take away 5 pounds
ummm..... i like fried chicken and Erin and Sarah they are HOT!!
Our Techumseh 8HP has a Champion J8C
Portuguese governement make difference between motorcycles. A motorcycle with less than a 50cc and 8hp engine have a yellow plate are named of "motorizadas", more than 50cc and 8hp have a white plate, named "motociclos"
