I installed a high rev kit on my 18hp vanguard, (MAX II) what do I need to do to disconnect the governor? The throttle control and governor are on the same linkage. Do I just disconnect the small spring from the governor linkage to the engine case/
If you send me an email I'll attach a drawing that I use to remove the governor. It uses the stock bell crank and throttle cable mounts. Quite easy and requires modification of only one linkage rod.
the high rev kit allows me to rev the engine up to aprox 5000-5500 rpm. the governor restricts the rpm to about 4000-4200. more rpm more power.
the governor needs to be removed for the high rev kit to work.
The kit comes with 2 steel push rods to replace the aluminum intake push rods (my engine had all steel ones), comes with 8 shims 2 under each valve springs. and new aluminum valve spring holders. It basically allows the engine to rev high without the valves floating. It also comes with a 5 degree offset key for the flywheel which mine sheared as soon as the engine fired up and and I had to reinstall the stock key way.
Always need to clean both surfaces and torque the flywheel, the key only sets the timing and does nothing for holding the flywheel in place once installed.
