IMG_20160730_160341966.jpg I was unaware that some Yamaha 1.8 engines are sold with CARB standards outside of California making 10 less HP, a few hundred less RPMs and a catalytic converter. If the engine is rated at 132kw you also have the 177 HP engine. If it is rated at 122 kw you have a San Francisco cork sniffing CARB rated 166 HP engine.

Just register it as Republican and you get back the lost hp. But you get a bad haircut in the process. :p
