Got the motor running ok but when I try to turn either way ,as soon as the caliper grabs I can't get any RPM's on the motor and the only way to turn around is to keep "bumping" the handle bars. Has good speed if going straight.????

I have a 91 vanguard 6x6 with a 16 opposed twin Briggs, great engine but seems not enough power for the application. Unless I am in low range it seems hard to turn and have to bump the brakes to get the rpm up. It is a lot more that way with the tracks on. Seems like I need to be at full throttle to try to turn. Pulled both primary and secondary clutches, cleaned and inspected both. Everything seems ok. Could just be the nature of the beast. I had a 83 6x6 with a transplanted 18 Kohler Magnum and if I remember it was the same way. Thought just came to mind.....don't recall the governor doing it's job. Something to check out.Comment

Is this a 20hp Kawi engine by any chance?Comment

Ok, it just sounded like maybe an intake valve pushrod might be bent, or skipped out from under a rocker arm. Common problem with the 20hp Kawi.Originally posted by RICK55FLA View Post
They actually idle fine like that, but have no power to turn.
