update on puddle jumper

[yellowbeard]

Hey guys, been working on the puddle jumper. A little new paint and throttle. Only problem I see is, there's no room for the breather. Will the carb. run at this angle? What can I do to correct this? thanks Joe

That's a cool bike right there :thumbsup:

looks like there will be problems with the tank/pickup. tank has been reduced to a few ounces of fuel. sloshing while riding probably won't pick up the little fuel in there. carb bowl won't have much fuel either.

how do I fix this problem?

you'll need an adapter, like on this Tec:

Nice. Yep, you'll need to level that out. :thumbsup:

 

[yellowbeard]

Do they make the adapter for a B&S 3hp.?

 

[buckeye]

Not for that carb tank set up, that I hve seen.

Thinking about leveling out the motor plate.

that adapter is for a Tecumseh engine. don't think it will work for a Briggs. you might not even need it? do they even have floats in them? I've never had a bike with a Briggs so I don't know anything about them! not for nothing, there some people who say you don't really even need it for the Tecumsehs? that they'll run at a slight angle. mine wouldn't stop leaking, and ran like crap. seemed to work fine after I put the adapter on..... :shrug:
