Default Gas engine conversions

i have a 26cc ryobi 4 stroke here. Not sure about the power output, though. Seems i was told it'd spin a 16x6 at about 6000 rpm, which ain't much, considering the weight. Not really enough for a good engine that size, but thats just my opinion. Seems that the Honda one is a bit more powerful, though.
I just looked at carr precisions website, and it spins an 18x8 at just over 6000 rpm, which is a little less than the ryobi, and i think about the same weight. That one would be good for about 12 or 13 lbs, i think.
Not sure about the ryobi. I might have to tear mine apart and just see what it'll spin.
