"Page Not Found", so I'd say zero.

You get a zero. I had no trouble finding the page.

I'd guess about 15. My grandfather had a single cylinder similar to that one
but older and he said it was about 5hp.

This one is ohv and much more advanced than the 1912 Excelsior single that my
grandfather rode.

It's an Indian Big Twin.

According to this site, Big Twins only had about 7 horsepower.
