Despite another 10 guesses, they are around 630 lb, on average.

Hope this helps if you're thinking about things you might leave off or swap-out to lose some weight.

The reason  you will see a variation in weights is  it  depends on how the engine is put on the scale, Some will  have the bell and fly wheel others will have the generator or motor mounts!
