[QUOTE="lesgawlik, post: 69781, member: 4115"] I've had 2 1816s. Both had the original Tecumseh 16 hp single cylinder engines. I had a guy who was willing to bore out the 16 hp and said he could get it to 20 hp. Many people put in a twin V in the 20-24 hp variety, but those engines are quite expensive when new. I would think that any decent 16 hp engine would be good. The machines are light, and are going to tip before you stall the hydraulics. It was a good move to modify the engine mounting plate. Getting those four bolts into the engine drove me nuts. There was a fraction of an inch less room than the human hand needs to start the threads. Each time you broke a belt, the engine had to come out. What were they thinking? [/QUOTE]
