How small is a small engine? One could only guess.
generally , two strokes are smaller capacity , shorter stroke, higher revs. for given engine capacity , long stroke /small bore = high torque / low revs short stroke/big bore = low torque / high revs
that isn't always true. however, smaller engines are made towards higher rpm's. and also rev up faster. larger engines are more for torque, and smaller engines are more compact and for lighter cars.
The 400 Chevy small block motor should have approximately 390 horse power. It should have 427 foot pounds of torque.
The Vanguard series is rated at 6.5 HP. Most small engines these days are no longer rated by HP but, rather torque. Several models of Briggs 205cc engines are rated at either 8 or 9 ft/lbs of torque. I can also add that the "Intek" and "Polar Force" series of the 205cc class are rated at 9 ft/lbs torque and 7.5 HP.
Most small vehicles do not use diesel engines.
Advertised horsepower is--- light duty is 165 HP @ 3800 RPMs, torque is--260ft LBS @ 2400 RPMs. .....................................is----heavy duty is 165 HP @ 3800 RPMs. Torque is--255ft. LBS @ 2800 RPMs. Both engines have a 4-barrel carb. This is a 1978 350 CID small block chevy.
It may vary from manufacturers, but they are very similar. Most 200cc - 225cc engines put out between 5 and 7 horsepower. the horse power rating system in the small engine industry is unregulated. often the horse power rating is not accurate. small engines are now being rated in torq or displacement due to related law suet
There is no direct relationship between engine size (cc or ci ) and horsepower. Hprsepower is a final product of all an engines functions and can be high in small engines that are highly tuned , or low in larger engines that are untuned.
A large force can produce a small or zero torque if the force is applied at a point where the lever arm (distance from the point of rotation to the line of action of the force) is very small or zero. Torque is calculated as force multiplied by lever arm, so a small lever arm can result in a small or zero torque even with a large force.
a small horse + a big horse or two small horses!
160cc is about 5.2HP. Most small engines are now going by CC rather then HP. We are more then willing to help you with your log splitter questions.
