The torqe is more because the Victa fires a power stroke twice as often.
I thought the V35 was 3.5 and the V40 was 4hp.
Then the V50 off the self propelled and slashers but im not sure how they get the 5hp out of what is esentially the same engine, perhaps the striaght inlet is the key.
I like the older full cranks. They seem to have a good solid power about them.
