Default Got Busy with my 14 Briggs

Got this engine off of a generator set, the guy said it would not charge
anymore...It had a bad stator (destroyed by a rock or something I presume)
as can be seen by the stator mounts (one still has a capscrew stuck in there)
being broken up..

It had a generator long wide taper..not sure what that is, but it is the only one
that I have found that can be machined down to a stock cart clutch taper.

I have long wanted a 14 for some reason..just seems right for what I want to do with the cart.

Kind of looking for a 16hp cam for it.. ?

EDIT : the crankshaft on the right is a stock Robin I use for measuring , the taper and the thread
on the Briggs on the left is the same as a stock Robin.

Believe it or not, a 14/16/18/20 and 23hp cam will work in that engine. The 23hp will give you a little more lift, that's why they cost a little more.

I have a 14, a 16, an 18, and a 23 cam here. The 14, 16, and 18 all have the same lift. The 23 is installed in the motor, but I know it has more lift.
I don't have a way to check the lobe spacing without installing them in a motor. They all look the same by eye.

well , I gave one to a guy years ago on here, along with some other stuff..HA HA..oh well, I will pick one up somewhere.. so, I don't really need to be concerned with it being out of an 18 or a 16 ? Will those cams do anything to the performance ?

The 23hp cam will add performance.
Boke has a 14, 16 and 18 cam if you need one.
