B&S - Vanguard v-twin 16hp static power to power managed

[Sparkanen]

Hello Guys, I am looking for an advice.

Is it possible to make a power(throttle) managed motor from static RPM motor? I have 16 HP Vanguard v-Twin carburator. And want somehow to use it in self-build tractor. But first I have to figure out how to change it to power managed motor... Otherwise I cant use it ...

I would be very greatefull to anyone providing any help...

I am thinking about few scenarios. Worst one is to remove governor and use static throttle This should work but without warranty of not breaking motor. So I would like some safe way to use it....

Want to expand on a "power managed motor"
Because a governed engine is a power managed engine as the throttle opens wider as more load is applied .

In true state it is power managed motor. Thank you for that correction. But RPM are static, right? So can I just remove static throttle adjustment and attach the throttle cable and it will do the work? I have settings like on the picture.

Note: The OP has an engine that appears to be built for generator use. To usable even the tapered crankshaft would need to changed out, unless, he can find a custom built pulley with a taper fit. But answer the question it is fairly easy to convent to a throttle control engine. Just the throttle setup off the same engine series.

In order to research this we would need the model and type numbers off the current engine so we have base to go from.

Hello, coooool that's light at the end of the tunnel

Engine number: 305477-0116-B1.

Yes, Tapered crankshaft is another challenge I already have a custom made attachment to Torque converter Comet Magnum 44.

Should be able to just remove the fixed part of the throttle, IE the screw that holds the bracket with the thumb nut to the engine and remove the bracket, throttle fixing screw and the rod to the throttle control and , install a throttle cable clamp and throttle cable and make that part usable. Sounds like the pulley situation may already be figured out.

Should work with a throttle cable setup for a variable speed operation unless Briggs used a fixed throttle style carb then it will still operate as a variable throttle but may surge and run poorly at low speeds.

Hmm, It sounds like a plan... What about idle RPM/Throttle ... do I need to set up some spring tension up to just remove the fixed part of the throttle? I hope for idle RPM somewhere around 1000 RPM. Hopefully motor will not strike me to my but, what I am doing with him

B&S likes their engines to idle around 1750 but, you can set both WOT and idle RPM at your own discretion and actual application. WOT is usually around 3600 but, that's not set in stone either.

Yes Briggs has the Idle RPM spec'd at 1750 but you should able to get it idle fairly well around 1200 just how the carburetor can handle this lower rpm @ idle.

Now if you planning a throttle pedal type of system [like on a go cart] then of course you need to add a pull off spring.

Cool guys, I will try to remove static throttle first and see on what RPM will it run. I have ordered RPM measurer, as motor doesn't have its own. I am looking forward to do this! So excited.

thank you very much for advices, I will post the result.
