E bay my friend , there thirty bucks. I had the same problem, my Grandson pulled the cord with the motor running and the pull starter grenade on me. Anyway that's where I had to go. Hope that helps.

Trying to figure out the best way to replace the long pickup tube on this B&S carb. I tried a search on the web but couldn't find what I was looking for. Can I get a few suggestions from some of you please. Best Regards...…..

I have a Baja frame that I stuffed a Briggs 5 hp in. I used an adapter plate that I picked up from one of the advertisers might have m been OldMiniBikes warehouse. Works well, however makes the sparkplug a little tight getting to. . I wouldn't go with a smaller fuel cell if you want longevity while riding..

Thanks I'll try it :bowdown:

It is a 5hp IC block with a few aftermarket pieces. ARC rod Weisco piston and Dyno cam. I threw a Raptor carb on her because of the cam. All in all it sounds pretty healthy except for the valve noise. I lapped the valves during assembly and I am running #18 springs. It's been a work in progress...

If memory serves me correctly the valves were not sloppy in the guides. My question is, how hard is it...

I would use this stuff called Red Kote on your tank. It was recommended to me by a member a few years back. I had a leak on the bottom of a 5hp tank. No way would I weld a fuel cell. Try it ......

Your welcome the bearing on the starter side I know is pressed on. Mine was but the other on the PTO side wasn't . Go figure , matbe I jest got lucky. Again have some fun ............

Interesting set up, I would like to know also.

A dual bearing block should have nearly no end play. However a cold block one that is a single bearing and no piston sleeve should have end play. I don't remember the spec off hand but if there is some play in your duel bearing block the bearings are a little worn. No biggie there available at...
