208 c.c. is 12.7 c.i. = approximately 13 H.P. It is not exact, as that is a sea level computation. The exact formula calls for a number of factors (not listed) that should also be taken into consideration, but not provided.
improvement;
There is no correlation between c.c./c.i to horsepower, For instance, a 250 cc Motocross bike has about 35 hp vs. a 250 cc lawn mower engine has around 8 hp.
The Briggs 205cc engine is normally rated at 5 hp. The 342cc Briggs is rated around 10 hp.
There is a rough formula that some use as a general guide line; divide the c.c.'s by 40 and you will be in the ball park for a mower engine. So, 205/40=5.1 hp.
In summary, your 205 c.c engine is about 5 horsepower.
