Tecumseh carbs on 5hp B&S flatheads?

[Clayon]

I've heard about this being done, and I've seen pictures, what Tecumseh carburetors and manifolds would you be able to put on a 5hp Briggs and have it run fine?

I need an alternative to the tank mounted to the carb that the Briggs have.

Thanks,

Clayton

I just picked up my Rotary carburetor today from the post office and I will be trying to retrofit it to my 1997 Briggs Industrial Plus motor.

You need a intake adapter.
Ask TRK.

My Briggs came with a tec carb. It sounded pretty snappy. Mine had a homemade intake. Pretty slick lookin

It's ok man. I could prob sell the intake pm me if interested

 

[Clayon]

Don`t you need it for your bike :shrug:

 

[trailramdan]

Nope I had tank issues , had nowhere to mount the tank on the purple bike. I picked up engine mounted tank and carb the intake is on the shelf

 

[Clayon]

Ok, well when I find a carb I will pm you if I need the manifold. Thanks Dan. :thumbsup:

 

[trailramdan]

Sounds good man and no problem

if you can find the right i.d tilly billet intake for the briggs a tec carb will bolt up to it... some of the intakes have a hole or a notch for the pulse on the tilly but those can be filled with jb and will work fine..

 

[Clayon]

Good to know 125cc, but The Restore Kid said he could hook me up with everything, ready to run so I should be set. :thumbsup: Thanks for the help guys. :thumbsup:

I believe most H & HS series engines came with Lauson carburetors.
I think Lauson eventually became a division of Tecumseh.

Rotary makes copies of the Lauson carburetors and other small engine parts like magnetos & such.

Yes Lauson became part of Tecumseh, so did Power Products.

So I got the motor back together and running. It was fairly simple and the only real modification was the air cleaner bolt holes were angled, so I slotted them to fit.

The choke lever is disabled because it got in the way of the air cleaner assembly. It currently runs on E85 pump fuel and the fumes are so strong it only takes about six pulls to fire up.

So it still looks factory stock and that's what I wanted. Governor is hooked up and working quite well.

And here is the latest test run video:
