RE: zenoah 26 mod
Most modders will scribe markings into the case that indicate it was their mod. Its also very easy to see if the intake and exhaust ports have been modded, as well as the transfer ports, crank, and piston.
As far as if you know it makes 6hp or not.... dyno readings are a tool. Its very easy to punch in some numbers and get an inflated HP reading
Just like with big motors.... PEAK hp does not mean anything and only win's you dyno contests.

RE: zenoah 26 mod
Your best bet is to buy one from someone with a good reputation. There are a few "big names" in the business who either botch a mod job or or how we would say, exaggerate their RPM and HP claims.
From the outside, look for a different from stock carb and a copper gasket around the base of the cylinder instead of the stock paper one.

Ron... not all engine builders use a copper gasket. Some machine down the jug itself to get a tighter squish while using a stock gasket.

RE: zenoah 26 mod
Some stock 260 could output 4hp at 14K rpm, sometimes depends what pipe are you running, I saw a guy toke the pipe off just run the engine with heater only for a minute, wow, the hull was flying...
