Can you elaborate on this?
lol how can i elaborate,

ummmm...

i only say this because if they rated the engine at 7.5hp it would be in the main item description as a massive selling point,

but its not in the item description, its in brackets next to the flywheel bulliten

"- Our Mod flywheel installed

(Rated at 7.5 HP and over 3lbs of torque) "

when some1 types somthing in this style it would give me the opinion that only the flywheel is rated 7.5hp

but as i said i could be wrong, the engine might be 7.5hp

I have also looked at that engine- thought for the price 7.5hp would be great... but I came to the same conclusion... I think just the flywheel is rated so high... :(

i don't think people should be put off by that, go have a read on other forums, people only say great things about that engine

I don't mean to influence people one way or the other- but when I figured that part out, I decided on the ported modified head replacement for my current engine...

I believe that they are rating the engine at 7.5hp. That's why it's in brackets at the end of the description.
i only think its the flywheel because they have used there discriptions diffrently on other engines like this one, and the grammer is all wrong

http://www.gizmomotors.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage_images.tpl&product_id=2229&category_id=26&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=56

i wouldnt hide 7.5hp in brakets at the end, it would be the main selling point :p

ive just emailed them to find out, if the engine is 7.5hp then WOW gotta be one of the best engines on the market for the price :D

I wasn't trying to sound like a douche, I was trying to figure out if you were stating the Flywheel made 7.5hp or the flywheel could handle 7.5hp I was pretty sure you weren't stating the flywheel made 7.5hp but I've read stranger things than this on the forums over the past 5 years.

Nice RCMK! And yeah, their descriptions seem to be all over the place.
