A 16-horsepower (hp) engine is the most common size for a small motor. This type of engine is typically used in boats, lawnmowers, leaf blowers and other recreational vehicles.

The typical cc 16 hp engine has between 15 and 19 horsepower (hp). A cc means cubic centimeter which measures the amount of air that can be compressed into one liter. The size of an engine is measured in cubic centimeters. An example would be a 12 hp engine that has a displacement of 1,200 cc. A 16-horsepower (hp) motor is about two to three times more powerful than a standard car's motor and will require more maintenance due to its greater power output; however, it also costs less money because it does not need as much fuel to run efficiently.

Truth be told you cannot estimate the CC of an engine based on the output horsepower. There are many types or engines!

To list some

Rotary engines - Generally speaking for their CC they are high powered but less fuel efficient

2 stroke engines - Simple in design and leak oil in the fuel system

4 stroke engines - the norm in car engines but there are further classifications

- Undersquared (short stroke - high RPM = High HP output on high revs)

Boxer or square ( Sporty)

Long stroked (better Torque in low revs - low rev limit)

Petrol, Diesel, Electric or Gas?

Fuel distribution technology used (carburator, direct injection, multipoint injection)

Turbo or atmospheric?

The engine's compression ratio?

As you can see the variables are too many for anyone to safely determine the CC from peak horspower alone.

Assuming however it is an electric generator running on petrol it must be less than 500cc but it can vary wildly between 100cc to 500cc

CC's and horsepower are not related. CC is the size of the combustion chamber in cubic centimeters, or in the American system,in cubic inches. There are 16.387 cc in a ci. -So a 300 CI engine is roughly 4920 cc , or 4.92 litres.
