Default 2072 SEW 23 HP Vanguard Repower

After the Winsun snafu with the 2072, I decided that it needed to be running by winter. SEW shipped the engine super fast. I ordered it Teus at 1am, it showed up at work Thur at 3pm.

Sat morning I went to TSC and bought a pulley and an eye bolt. Put the bolt in the header on the garage door, hung the pulley with my ATV winch cable through it, and had a Cub motor hoist.

The install would have been super easy in a 2082 that the kit was designed for. I had a couple issues to address. The choke cable was too long, the throttle cable was too short, and I had to splice the 2 starter cables.

They supplied a choke cable to cut to length but I just shortened the one that was there. I used their choke cable for my throttle. I put it on the same side of the Vanguard as the choke(where they had the hold down) and my throttle work backwards. oh well, I'll fix that later.

The drive shaft bolted right to their adapter, the mount bolts lined up, and overall no major problems. My ignition switch had turned a nice shade of green so it wouldn't crank right away, had a couple laying around and swapped it out. The green oil pressure wire on the engine harness connector had been crimped to tight so the wire broke at the terminal(on the new engine), had to repair that.

Oh and the muffler shield needs a couple inches cut off the front for the grill to go on. And the exhaust pipe needs to be bent also. I think other than the broken OPS wire there would have been no issues going into a cyclops.
