Does anyone know what Tecumseh changes to yield 11HP from the same block as the 9HP Snow King? I would guess it's either the carb., induction system, valves or maybe all of the above?

Several years ago I started a thread(http://www.abbysguide.com/ope/discussions/7869-A-1.html)that grew to over 154 posts regarding this very subject. While it was with regard to a Briggs engine Tecumseh does(did) the same thing. It appears that the change to torque ratings rather than horsepower which is now being used is an attempt to further obfiscate the truth and reveals the shady way in which engine manufacturers rate their products.Try and make it through the entire thread-It makes for interesting reading!!
