  • 16 HP vs. 18 HP

    I found a Max II today in my area for sale. It has a 16 HP Briggs. I have ridden Mike's with an 18 HP Briggs. I was wondering how much performance difference theer was between these two engines in a Max II. Is there enough that you can drastically feel the difference or not?

    If the price is right I would certainly buy it. The 16HP Briggs have a 480cc displacement and the 18HP Briggs are 570cc. The difference is not all that noticeable, but it is there slightly when your machine is climbing a long steep hill. If you want to buy it and swap the 16HP Vanguard out for a 18HP or higher, I would certainly buy the engine from you.

      The maxII being lighter and having a more sophisticated trans that doesn't rob power when turning would be more peppy than if your bigfoot was downgraded to a 16.
