What is the experience of others regarding toe settings?

When Nat was not too much bigger than this, I took the kart to a local, defunct manufacturing plant to ride. I would put her in my lap and make circuits around some old kart tires that I had laid around for cones. Once, as I was screaming around the lot, I saw her mouth moving as though perhaps...

That's Nat. Mom of three of our grandkids! Pic taken around 1989. It had turbine wheels. Aluminum hubs with steel outer halfs.

I'm not intimidated. This kart ran a carb from a Honda 70cc motorcycle on a home made intake and used a discarded leaf blower fuel tank mounted on a fabricated bracket bolted on using the head bolts.

I don't have a carb yet. What about the Tillotson?

Even at that, it's likely too close to work without modding the cover.

I love this intake. It's like an Edelbrock for a B&S. Amazing. However, looking at the Tecumseh carbs, it's likely that I'll have to cut a notch in the side cover for the fuel inlet hose, as the intake positions the carb immediately beside the cover.

Ok, got the intake. Fits like a glove! Now, suggestions for a tank setup to use with it?

Ordered. Thanks. Now I'll have to find a suitable tank and associated bracket.

I always make tapped bars like this. Using these, I need only one wrench to loosen the engine and they clamp well enough that the engine never shifts.

Nice!

Yeah, I'm trying to adapt to an two-hole intake port. Thanks.

Flathead B&S carbs and tanks are getting scarce. Does anyone make an adapter to install a 5HP Tecumseh carb to a B&S? I could make one myself but I'd rather buy something nice.

Thank you.
