nothing huh?
I've changed several argo engines. One thing to look for is a motor
thatis easy to work on in that small box. This fall I installed a20hp
honda in an older 8x8 It out pulls my buddys 24hp kaw. but I'll have
to pull the engine for any axle or engine work. Or you could do some
performance work to existing motor
First what size is the engine in you machine(HP). 600 racing sells a bandolero engine that is a 20 hp bumped up to a 30 HP. This engine has no governors and will really boost your HP. The engine is actually cheaper than a factory 20 hp or 18 HP. I am pretty sure the 20 has the same footprint as the 18 HP. They are not water cooled.
These engines are fast, and should fit the machine. May need to get high speed clutches. I am not sure if this is what you are looking for but thought i would let you know that you have a few options.
You can go to the Briggs site and check the dimensions of the motors and get a better idea if it will fit.

I think all 14 thru 20 will be the same dimensions externally. I bet the 23 block is the same externally, the heads are just a little taller, and the exhaust on a 14/20 won't bolt up to a 23.
I've been reading about Kawasaki's, very interesting stuff. Some engine groups vary by maybe 5 HP, the only difference being compression, carbs, carb jetting and or limiting throttle plate opening. All the same displacement.
motors...
Well asked Question to ask.... How much are they?such as the 30 hp's?
Guys, thanks for all the info I will be reading up on the bandelero engines. Might be a good upgrade for and old response if I find one.

I just checked last week and it was $1340.00 or around there.
Where can J get one (bandolero) shippig to Sweden
Speed Speed Speed, Just Remember, your machine is chain driven and ramping up the HP will also put tons of extra stress on your drive system, specially the front idler shaft bearings and your chains, I went that route as a youngster (13 When I started with ARGO's 46 now) and it was not worth it. Although I'm Up in NORTHERN ALBERTA CANADA and you just can't go very damned fast in the bush. Had an eight back in the day that would hit 60 mph on the highway,(Was clocked several times ) 440 ss but we went in and re-geared the transmission. If you want to go fast by a QUAD, you'll end up snapping/breaking axles next when you come flying around the bend and hit a fallen log or something.
