    Vanguard V-twin wiring help please

    Strange that you feel comfortable admitting and ask folk to make allowances, with a disclaimer, that you are "not a professional mechanic" even though you claim to have been an instructor and teaching a skill you were not qualified for, you will not forgive my admission in my first post saying...

    Vanguard V-twin wiring help please

    Hi Star Tech. Thanks for 'staying with me'. I do understand that each wiring circuit will be specific to the particular model. Are the other details from the engine plate (Type & Code) any use? From Youtube images it does not appear to have a carb solenoid and no other wires than those in my...

    Fuel starvation. Clean everything. When you're sure it's all correct from tank to carb, check bowl is filling. If all good and the fault still exists first thought is tank breather and next is stator gap/dirt. Good luck, it can be infuriating!

    Hello everyone. Newly joined today in the hope that there's someone out there who can help. I have a Vanguard 16hp V-twin engine.( Model No; 303777) I bought it used. The wiring and cables were cut off by whoever removed it from whatever it was in. I believe a ride-on mower as it is the...
