TJ5208 1,823 #39 Posted September 21, 2022 One reason I don't like Tecumseh they don't even make the horsepower there rated at. Compare both of the 160s and you'll see why. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It makes the same amount of HP with less displacement. It is less torque. But HP is identical. For the size ... the Tecumseh is pretty stout. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While I'm a firm believer in "There's no replacement for displacement" It is not untrue that you can just as much Horse Power out of a Honda 2.2L engine as you can out of a Chev 5.7L engine. Torque may be a different story. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
