yup.. engines are either doing work, or not. 'idle vs. loaded'.
your 'rated' number however, is a WOT engine, lugged down to 2200. At that point, that's where the published HP is made. So many will set the no load throttle to this number, turn the clutch loose.. and think they are running at the rated HP. They are not.
