Ezgo vangaurd 18
Here is my ezgo txt I'm gonna swap the vangaurd 18 generator engine into. apparently the generator engine dobt use a mechanical governor at all.which is cool.
Not sure if the limiter can be retained in anyway. But its electronic.ive gotta get a used crank or figure out the taper part. Generator was also dual fuel.propane or gasoline. I am not wanting to lift the cart so if someone has any advice on the best way to keep from doing that I'm all ears. |

Re: Ezgo vangaurd 18
Well I will have to lift the cart.no way around it really.
I got the starter generator mounted to the engine. I also made a motor plate to sit on the rails. Coming along slowly. |

Re: Ezgo vangaurd 18
You might be better off finding a whole used gas engine. You'll need a crank, but you'll also need the carb, intake, air filter, etc from a gas engine. I'm not sure, but I thing a 14, 16hp crank is the same?

He has a dual fuel engine. It can run either including gasoline just as it is.

Re: Ezgo vangaurd 18
The propane adapter is before the carburetor under the air filter. Most likely can be removed without any problems or new parts.

Re: Ezgo vangaurd 18
Yes it is dual fuel which is kinda cool.
Here are,all the pieces I already removed. What the opinions on welding the crankshaft just to build up the end which is only about an inch. Then have it machine to 1" |

Re: Ezgo vangaurd 18
So I did some more work today. I really dont wanna lift the cart. Therfore I redid the main cradle supports to drop them 4". I now have about 2-3" ground clearance.i hope to put the tallest tire to fit with no lift to help raise it just a little.
