Re: bore & stroke

the 18 should be 2 1/2 bore x 2 1/4 stroke, 22 cubic inches, i'm not sure about the 25

Re: bore & stroke

The 25hp is the same bore and stroke. OK, I know where you are going with this....NO, they are NOT the same. If you think you are going to get 25hp out of that 18 by changing the carburetor, you are in for a rude awakening.

I'm curious how they get the extra hp if the motors are essentially the same size. I've seen this for other models as well, which have lots of interchangeable parts, but have different hp ratings. Just curious.
