Should be very dependable withoil changes at 25 hour intervals and plug and air filter changes dictated by inspection
Northern Tool Company claims that the newer 208cc engines are "direct replacements" for worn out 6.5 HP engines. They list this under "historical data". http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_200362863_200362863
OHV stands for over head valve. It's not a brand name.
208cc is what in horse power for a snow blower??
CC's of an engine refer to displacement. That has nothing to do with horsepower. Compressions ratios and other factors can cause large variations in horsepower for similar sized engines.
A 208cc engine would be a 8.32 Horsepower engine. The math goes like this... 1 x HP per each 25 cc for conventional engines. It is slightly lower for fuel injected engines, about 22 cc.
The 208cc mini bike can travel at 40 miles per hour.
All of it.
Approx. 7.5 hp
About 6.5
There is no definite answer to this questions, but in general, you'd be looking at 5-6hp
Six hp, according to the conversion tables.
Well a Ninja 250cc makes about 28hp which is pretty impressive. I would guess between 10 and 20hp for that 208cc engine unless it is a two stroke which would make it more like 20 to 30hp. Added - I have a 208cc engine on a portable generator, its rating is 7HP. It depends on the use of the engine, you can get a lot more power from a marine engine than an air cooled engine.
