Since you didn't state your model, the engine size is cast into the housings.

You guys suck. I was waiting for you to tell him to hook a balloon up to his exhaust, blow into his carburator, then measure the circumference of the blown up balloon, divide by pi, divide by two to get the radius, cube it, multiply by pi, then repeat for the second rotor.

Assuming it's stock:

Big blue airfilter when you open the hood is a carb'd 12A (1.1L)

Big Aluminium block that says RE-EGI is an FI 13B (1.3L)
