Standard small engine (single cylinder, 4 cycle, 3 to 14 hp) rpm is
3600,
some later engines run a few hundred RPM faster.

The 4 cyl. Continental on my SA 200 welder runs at 1450 rpm.

But that is not a "small engine"

Sorry, but previous posters included 4 cyl engines.

I think they were refering to 4 cycle engines, to differentiate them
from two cycle engines like you'd find in chainsaws and string
trimmers...
