Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

I was wondering how or where I could look up the correct engine speed for the governer on a Tecumseh 10 hp snow blower engine.  It is an older Lawnboy ST1032 model (1980's).  I bought it second hand  a number of years ago and it has always had a tendency to rev higher than other snowblower engines that I see.  It really screams like a devil when opened out (but it is still in one piece after over 15 years with me). 

Thanks

actually the opposite is true
Horse power is the result of torque.  

Torque is a force

Horsepower is a measurtment of torque doing work over an amount of time.

The opposite is true of your quote.  

Without torque you cannot develope horsepower.

Simple example lets take internal combustion engines out of this.

Lets use an electric motor, why  because an electric motor can produce force without a running start.

Lets say you got a 100 pound object you also have an electric motor that produces and can be measured at 75 pounds of force.   It cannot lift the weight.  It has force but cannot produce any horsepower cause it cannot move it.

"It is torque that moves your car but  it is horsepower that sells it."

"It is TORQUE that makes the world go round."
