Default engine weight

Most manufacturers give weight with and without the muffler. However, the weight does not include the prop washer and prop nuts. I weighed each of my YS and OS engine without prop washer and nuts using a precision postal scale, and each engine ended up being the same weight as what the manufacturer claimed. However, when prop washer and nuts were added, each engine turned out to be 0.1 - 0.2 oz heavier.
