What is the horsepower rating?1/2 hp ?. 3/4hp. ?

None of the other answers are correct. It's 900 Newtons DC, which is equivalent to about 0.8 (a touch better than 3/4 hp) AC motors you're comparing to.

Unicorn... When i bought mine i noticed a tiny bit of power increase only on the lvl 4 tune. I think they rate it at 25 hp gain, and 24 ft lb torque. The thing i really liked about it was it had firm shifts all the way through 3rd gear. Definitly going to help if your towing. But if your looking for just hp increase overall i would get a blackbear tune. Wont get number like a diesel but it will definitely help.

It's rated up to 10 amps. The description says up to 1/3 horsepower motors which is normal for a residential garage door opener. I don't have one of these units, but most of them have a fuse or fusible link so they won't catch fire if overloaded. A 1/3 HP motor wouldn't use anywhere near 10 amps except in a stall state (when the motor has power to it but is jammed --> overloaded).

Horsepower can be converted into watts by remembering 1 HP = 746.70 watts. Doing the math, 3250/746.7 = 4.35 HP. But remember, there is inrush current on a motor, the normal extra current it takes to get a motor started. I'd say the best you can probably truly expect this generator to handle is maybe a 3 HP motor. Hope that helps. Ron

I have seen ads stating up to 16 HP but I confirmed with Westinghouse who said the true measurement of the engine was around 13.5 HP (theoretical maximum of around 10kW not counting any losses in the system).

Dwight,There is no horsepower rating on the motor itself, however, based on other "true" rated motors I have in my shop, I would say its a 3/4 hp. As for the wheels, I haven't had to replace them yet but I can tell you that the shaft size is huge so you really have to watch where you get them from. I bought a Dewalt wire wheel thinking it was going to fit ( 5/8" shaft) and it wasn't even close. I believe Ebay has the grinding wheels but just make sure the mounting hole diameter is the same. By the way this is the best grinder I have ever owned.Hope this helps Dwight,There is no horsepower rating on the motor itself, however, based on other "true" rated motors I have in my shop, I would say its a 3/4 hp.

I forget it's rating, but I think it was 1/2 hp at 120Vac, or approximately 11 amps resistive @120Vac.Bobby

I use a pancake compressor......I think it might be 3/4hp, and it works fine.

4 MPH. I am usually between 1.5 and 2.5. NEVER above 3.5.4MPH is plenty. And it will help the motor last longer.

I ordered it for a friend who owns a 42' sailboat. The engine is a 55 horsepower, Westerbeke....diesel. I'm afraid I don't know more than that.

I have a 383 with 450hp and 480tq and have no problems. Believe it's rated up to 500hp

Yeah, the math doesn't work out but looking at the Worx website, under Technical Specifications they list it as "Peak Power: 4HP" so I'm guessing they've got some measurement scheme where 1 HP != 745 watts.

The claimed 4 HP = 2984 WThat means, at 120 V it will have to draw 25.8 Amps.Some sellers list the Poulan Pro 400E CRBB as drawing 15 Amps. At 120 V that = 1800W. That would be = to 2.4 HPNow 2.4 is far from 4Wich one is it ?L.

If you do a google search on this engine regarding its HP rating, you find that it has between 8-9 HP.

On the name plate for HP it says "40 GPM" and no HP designation. I think is about a 3/4 HP though.

I have one with a 2.5 horsepower motor that pushes this boat pretty well. Its not a race boat but probably moves it around 10 knots or so. 3.5 horsepower motor should do even better. Like the product.

Hi Brian! If my calculations are correct... I am calculating about 1/10 HP. This was derived from the following: The manufacturer states on their website that the output of the motor at 50 RPM is 8.5 lb-ft of torque. The equation for rotational torque-horsepower relationship is HP= torque (in lb-ft) times Speed (in RPM) all divided by 5252. HP=(torque x rpm)/5252= .081 HP. I am pretty much certain this is correct. If not, please all chime in and let me know! Thanks!
