Ezgo V-Twin pedal start?
So when I started collecting parts for my v-twin swap into my 2002 ezgo txt I saw that people were still using the pedal start. Now I am just finding posts that say that I should use a key start.
1. Will the ezgo starter/generator be powerful enough to turn over a B&S 16hp eveytime? 2. Has anyone setup a pedal start and find out that it didn't work well and had to change to a key start? 3. Who sells a bracket to install the ezgo starter/generator? 4. Who sells a pulley to use the stock starter/generator with a comet? 5. Do I really need a comet? Thanks to anyone that can offer any insight. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Re: Ezgo V-Twin pedal start?
I'm sure "someone" has done it. However, most do not because the Vanguard has a good reliable starter and charging system built in. It's way easier to wire the starter and charge wire. I did mine in about an hour. No pulley, belt, adjuster, etc to deal with.
But if someone has done it, they'll chime in. |

I like the idea of getting in and going. But if I "need" to have it key start I will go that route.
I'll keep digging but if anyone has suggestions I would love to hear them. Joel Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

From there, the mount for the starter/gen might need modified or remade to fit next to the Vtwin. I have never seen a "kit" for this type of thing though, pretty much a custom deal. Vegas Carts sells the Comet 780 and a custom billet aluminum pulley to use behind it for the starter gen. You might want to call them and see if they have done this type of setup, they may have and might even have the right parts to do so. |

I just bought a Jacobsen Hauler. It's basically an ezgo workhorse that comes from the factory with a 16hp vanguard and pedal start. I tried to find a parts manual and get you a number for the bracket but haven't had any luck.

Re: Ezgo V-Twin pedal start?
Do you know the specs on your motor. Does it have a charging ring? How many amps?

Not sure. Haven't really done much, not much time but I can pull some numbers off of the engine if that will tell us. Quote:
