vanguard 14

Phantom59 · 02-27-2015, 11:20 AM

Had someone give me a 14 hp vanguard last night. Not sure what's wrong with it yet but it has spark & turns over so I'm going to attempt to start it with starting fluid and see what it does. My question is I've been wanting to repower my CC for a while but actually wanted a 20hp would this be a worthwhile swap if the motor is good?

Any V-twin is worth the swap, especially a FREE one! Install a rev kit, open up the exhaust and replace the carb with a 16/18hp version and you will be happy.

Sounds good thanks
I may end up with a G2 Yamaha also so would that be an easier swap than the CC? Also will I have to lift the cart to fit the twin under the seat?

IMO the G2 is the better cart for the swap. Yes, you will need a lift for the G2.

Since I don't want to lift the G2 I guess I will have to start saving for parts to lift the CC if the engine turns out to be any good

What year CC? 97+ are reverse motor rotation and have to drive forward in reverse. Gear change probably needed for it for that reason

Well it's gonna need some work only one of the valves is stroking so I guess I will open it up
