Differences between the 5hp Power Sport and the 6hp Power Sport?

[Parliament]

Why are there three holes(dipstick and two for adding oil) for oil on the 5hp and only one on the 6hp?

Also, my 5hp was born in 2006 and the 6hp was born in 95/96. Is there much difference in the engines because of that fact?

I can tell you the difference. The 6hp has one more hp then the 5! :doah:

Almost allnew engines do casue people are too dumb and cant check the oil any other way.
