Honda makes great engines – but they do cost more on the mowers that have them especially Honda mowers. Briggs and Stratton engines are generally cheaper but are still good engines. For consumer use – do the maintenance and they will last as long as the lawn mower.

Horsepower is a unit of measure used to indicate the power output of an engine. As to the correlation of the two, generally speaking the larger the CC displacement of an engine, the more horsepower it will produce.

Many people have asked for a relationship between horsepower and cc or how many cc in a hp. The short answer is about 14 to 17cc = 1 hp or about 1 cu.in. = 1 bhp for an ordinary, basic car.

The ‘Cubic Capacity’ measured in Cubic Centimeters (CC) signifies the swept volume of the engine as a whole – all cylinders incorporated. Whereas, horsepower (HP) is a unit of measurement of power (measured in kilowatts) and usually regarded as peak power. It indicates the maximum power that an engine can put out.

Walbro worked with MTD Products, a global leader in outdoor power equipment and the first equipment partner to utilize this highly cost effective technology, to develop a new 679cc V-Twin fuel injected engine for the Cub Cadet XT2 Enduro Series Lawn Tractor, now available through the Cub Cadet dealer network.

Ethanol will start to absorb water over time, leading to poor engine performance. E10 gas absorbs up to 50 times more water than standard gasoline. Ethanol is also an excellent solvent. Simply put, it will dissolve plastic, rubber, fiberglass and much more, potentially causing serious problems to small engines.

The most common is that it is simply not as fuel efficient. By replacing 10% of your product you get 10% less efficiency and in many cases it can be more. Ethanol provides less energy, up to ⅓ less energy as well so non-ethanol gas will get more out of that tank in your lawn mower or other power equipment.
