Just something for fun

Does anyone know why or have a good guess as to why engines made now a days only show their displacement (cc) instead of hp anymore. I'll give you a hint, briggs was what did it, but what did they do???

Do tell, Justin. I often wondered this same thing . I know this, anything that has CC on it...I just pass it by lol

Well back in the day when Gary worked for briggs briggs had I think it was the 12 13 and 14 horse engines. And all they did to make a difference was tighten the governor so it would run faster. They didn't change the carb bore valves nothing. And the gov. got on their butts.

Hehe...nah the Government would NEVER do a thing like that. Thanks for sharing
