RAGB gearing questions
« on: June 12, 2018, 09:06:16 pm »
Hello all, I have a racing mower with a 18HP vangaurd (stock), it’s got a 5 “ engine pulley 10” gear box, then a 16 tooth to 60. What do I have wrong here my rear ratio is 3.75-1. My mower has no go down the straight. Any help be great  :confused:

Did you check that you're getting full rpm out of your engine? Belt clutch or centrifugal clutch? What size rear tires?

For one thing your final gear ratio is 7.50-1
If you are running governed 3650 rpm your doing about 23-24 mph with your setup ,that's why you have no straightaway speed

With the governor removed you should have a Billet Flywheel.
