16 hp vanguard carb mod's
« on: April 02, 2011, 11:02:10 pm »
I have a 16 hp vanguard horazontal #404337 signal carb.
I was thinking of honing out the center of the carb so it has a straight smooth flow, Iam not sure if this would help or make problems .
        The brass tube that the gas comes out of would need to be changed, the jet drilled out a little bigger and made adjustable, not sure about the low side jet.
        The motor is not supper built , just open exhuast,billit flywheel and no governer.I will be adding a cam next year . Again this is just somthing Iam thinking about and thought I would ask everyone what they think about the Idea....

Look up venturi design before you hog out the center of that carb.

Just buy the bigger bore carb from an 18hp. I have a few i'd sell you. That way you don't have to worry about boring too far etc.. You can open them up somewhat but removal of the e-tube isnt easy on that carb.
