Im having trouble getting the throttle linkage on my mini bike to jive together and im curious if any you B&S gurus can recommend a replacement carb that will work with these engines. Being as the bowl is in the tank I see several different ones on amazon and such that look like theyll fit, is there any truth to this? Or am I stuck with the one it came with?
B&S 80202 Carb replacement

No, the PZ19 would still be around $60 with the manifold adapter and you would still have to buy a different tank. Anywhere from around $15 and up. The plastic tubes are available. With a little work, any plastic tube can be made to fit. Just measure the total length of your tube, remove the plastic bottom section, cut your new tube to match the one you removed, LIGHTLY heat the end of the new tube and slide it on, to the proper length. Most lawnmower shops will carry them. But, I'm curious. How does replacing the carb, fix your linkage issue? Aren't you going to have the same issue, with the new replacement?
So im also having a clearance issue with the tank being 1/4 inch away from the tires. When I first got it years ago it had a techumseh engine on it so the gas tank was on the other side. Im just looking to make it as user friendly for future maintenance as possible. I like the idea of the newer carb and having a new tank also. I haven't totally decided on one or the other yet. Im also thinking I need so explore getting smaller tires to alleviate the space issue and im also having a problem not being able to fit the scrub brake with out some serious cut and chop modification.

A picture or three might be helpful. But, rather than post here, post in the Minibike Discussion section. Just start a new thread with picture, brand of bike, what you have now and what you want to do with it. There is a pretty good chance someone has already done the same thing and can walk you through all of your concerns.
