The SAE J1349 standard measures net horsepower with the manufacturer’s production

muffler and air cleaner in place. Net horsepower more closely correlates with the power 

the operator will experience when using a Honda engine powered product. The power rating 

of the engines indicated in this document is the net power output tested on a production

engine for the model noted and measured at the rpm specified. Mass production engines

may vary from this value. Actual power output for the engine installed in the final machine

will vary depending on numerous factors, including the operation speed of the engine in

application, environmental conditions, maintenance and other variables.
