max 11 throttle hook up / questions

[shultz55]

I did a engine swap on the max im restoring.put a 16 hp bs vanguard in replaced the old single lung teschuma, the swap was minimally evasive compared to all the frame fixing I had to do because of rust!! any ways I have a couple ? for u all .1stly where is the best place to hook throttle.to the same place as the other one using the stock set up with the govener.or do I remove the govener?. and if so hows the best way to eliminate it.and performance wise is there any thing I can do to give it a little more bark.thanks all also I have the original 16 hp for sale that runs great for sale

You have a minimal dilemma there as the Tecumseh throttle is on the rear and while the Briggs can run from either side the cable is probably too short for rear and slightly long for front.
Take the time to look the the Max and engine galleries to find what works for you, the stock vanguard routing works well but look around. Get that functioning properly before worrying about more.

The governor is not that hard to adjust but the manual will show pics and explain better than I can here, but first you don't want more than 1/8 play at duck bill for best results. Provided it has the correct spring on that engine, put a tach on it and get it to idle at 1000-1100, next run up to full rpm but be sure machine is in neutral and belt is in place.
Let us know where you are rpmn at and a picture of your routing/linkage may help.
