hello all i am new to this forum and in need of some help on a project i have a 5 hp briggs with the carb mounted on the gas tank and on this project the frame is small so i need to find out what carb i could use that would utilize a remote fuel tank to feed the carb. this is a stock engine and no plans to make any performance mods. any help or ideas would be appreciated thanks
Hello, and Welcome Aboard!
The original Model 13 Briggs 5 horse engine came with a Flo-jet carb, these would have had to have a remote tank. They are not impossible to find, and are semi-common.
Your other choices would be finding a carb from anything 5-8 horsepower and making a manifold to adapt it, both bowl carbs and pumper carbs would work good.
Your last choice would be a tillotson, Mikuni, or Walbro carb with a racing manifold, this would eliminate the need for machining,
Hope that helps a little!
