a1pcfixer - I understand that hp specs may be more for marketing than factual, but would hp numbers be RELATIVELY significant and consistent between mfgs, i.e., if the DLE 55 says 5.5 hp and another make of 50cc engine says 5.0 hp, at the same RPM, would the DLE produce 10% more power at that RPM?
Within what a mfg produces.....maybe.
Between mfg's.....nope.
They don't all uniformly state their HP numbers at the same rpm's, so often you can't compare that way.
Do you really think ANY Chinese gas eng mfg puts their eng on a dyno to actually check the HP figures?
If they did, wouldn't we be able to find their data sheets and graphs somewhere?
Might be enlightening if someone started a new msg thread;
Which mfg's actually dyno test their claimed HP figures?
Doubtful any but the top dollar/top quality ones get listed.....and that leaves out the clones & copies of clones.
