Carb options on Briggs 5hp

[MKW]

So, what are the best/most reliable carb options to run on a stock Briggs 5hp with a remote gas tank?? Thanks

Well I think it's a clone carb or Tecumseh carb . Clone carb is cheaper to buy but would need jetting , which is not hard to do . I already know what jet size to get it close .
Also to do this you'll need a custom intake manifold , which I build and sell for 35.00 plus shipping .

Excellent. I sent you a PM.

Tough to beat a briggs flo-jet for reliability and they mount tight to the engine. I have one I'd take $75 shipped for that is a take off carb with air cleaner.

The flow jet is alright , but a clone carb is far better a choice . First off they just look bad ass hanging on your flat head . Also they perform very well and you also have the ability to mod the motor pretty much and this style carb will still feed your flat head .

I don't think they look "bad ass" hanging off of a flat head. If you want performance, go with a VM20 Mikuni. If you mod the motor, go with a Chinese clone of the VM22. Superior throttle response, very little plastic, and doesn't look like some piece of crap you got out of Harbor Freight on Coupon Day.

I had very good luck with one of those on a highly modified motor.

I have a clone motor on a mini bike too, what size jet would work well with it?

I do not disagree, I run one on my favorite rider and it works fantastic.

How long are your manifolds? They all look different, are they carb specific?

They are around 2"-2 1/2" or what ever is ask for . There is two different one shown , a clone to tech and clone to Briggs .

May be a long shot but do you still make these?

@David wulf

It's been over a year since David was on, but this mention will get his attention when he does.

I've had some decent success adapting the VM22 carbs to flatheads. Inexpensive, reliable and very tunable.
