I was on ebay and someone is selling a 6 hp power head and suggested it's the same as the 15 hp power head....
I have a 2001 model long shaft in great shape (6hp)...and find that connection hard to believe.....
If it is related what are the differences.
thanks in advance.

So this motor could be the block for a larger motor perhaps. I know that the honda 9.9 and the 15 hp are similar. The carbs are different and the cams aren't the same for a 2001 year.
any thoughts???

I don't know of any 6hp engines that share the same or similar block as a 15hp from any manufacture. Alot of 4.5/6/7.5/8hp and 8/9.9 and 9.9/15 combos though. Heck, most/all 4 stroke 6hp engines are singles while 8-15hp are twins.
