If your referring to the
carb in the picture, its not a Briggs flo jet or pulsa jet , its a Tecumseh diaphragm
carb. And yes, they are ok for minibike use and were used on slant mounted engines before the slant intakes were implemented. Float bowl
carbs need to be horizontal to operate properly, diaphragm carbs do not.
As previously discussed on the board, the following modifications to Tecumseh edger engines are needed for minibike use:
-The intake has a very small passage way and should be changed to Tecumseh part number 28416
-The governor arm needs to be changed so the linkage matches the higher carb position on the new intake
-A minibike style throttle control is needed, Tecumseh part number 730136 or the older style equivalent
-The rear mount fuel tank should be changed to a front mount as the tank only hold 1 quart and its fill hole in a bad position for most mini
bikes.
-A spark plug shorting clip or a kill switch wired to the magneto points terminal to stop the engine as the switch is built into the old speed control
That pretty much covers it. If I missed anything or for alternative approaches, others will chime in.
On a good note ; the side sump cover is drilled and tapped, some are not, This makes clutch cover mounting much easier
On a bad note ; it looks like one of the mixture adjustment screws is broken off in the side of your
carb, if so the
carb is junk
