Re: Big Block Decision????
You can use the governor as a linkage,it makes the throttle setup easier,just dismantle the governor internally in the motor.

Re: Big Block Decision????
Congrats! I'm sure that will please you just fine. I couldn't do the 18...the torque #'s on the 23 alone would have kept me up at nights, fearing regret and "what-if's". Speed is not a factor when choosing between them. I have had various other V-twins in garden tractor configurations (Commands, Honda's and Vanny's), and that is one application where the torque shines, and the difference between an 18 and a 23 is clear...you can see and feel it when really working a motor this size.
That 23 is a freakin monster. Sounds like our uses are pretty similar. Mine is 100% hunting camp rig in the fall. 100% lake-house/farm country cruiser in the summer, and a utility vehicle in the snow (except this year...too darn deep) We camp adjacent to our primary hunting property, and commute by cart to public land, about 4 miles away. My next mod will be gears, so I can bring my rpm down on the road rides and still cruise around 35mph. Some of the two tracks we ride are incredibly steep and challenging, muddy, sandy or rocky. They are a blast, even with 4 adults and gear. The cart will flip itself over or dig a hole to China before it will bog down. I would like to find a solution for running in the snow. I have some spare composite ski's that would probably help me to steer...traction hasn't been an issue with ATV tires, but it pushes like a freight train and only knows one direction....straight. I did replace my steering box when I put on the long travel front end....I recommend it if yours is sloppy. Mine was a 'little' sloppy and gave out on the trail...talk about an interesting ride home. Begin squirelling some cash away for GOOD tires if you think your off road travels can use them. The hp doesn't do much good when the tires are packed full of mud. If not good tires, then a winch. I had All Trails for a fewyears and hated them...they became slicks every time I left the pavement. Not much more than turf/floatation tires. |

Re: Big Block Decision????
Well I guess any big block install is better than stock!
I traded for my big block and it's a 20 HP Briggs. I ordered the rev kit and clutch from Tom. The rev kit wouldn't work and I couldn't figure it out. i took the motor a part to see what was inside it and the cam was modified! Come to find out it's a Bandolero motor built by B&S. I got it all back together and it had a bad coil but a friend gave me a used one. I will be ordering 2 new ones Monday. Here it is running. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybyVXDsdsW8 |
