One of my main motivations is that with the steel tanks getting so difficult to find, perhaps a remote tank for the Tillitson would be easier to source in the future.

Yes, live axle.

I got this engine with the kart and I don't have an air cleaner for it. What carb is it? I'm used to the center mount air cleaner and not too familiar with this design. Also, I keep seeing reference to a Tilly carb. I guess that means a Tillitson, right? Is there such available for my 5HP B&S...

In the past I've been very dissatisfied with the Carlisle slicks. So for this kart I bought the sawtooth tires (4" front, 5" rear). Suggestions for tire pressure? I'm running about 7.5 psi +/- in the front and about 20 in the back, trying to reduce low speed understeer.

Works nicely but for some reason it seems loud.

Nearly identical to mine except for a couple of details. Like the sprung front end, for instance. I gave $125 for mine. But I just bought four new wheels, tires and tubes.

Sorry, I was unclear. The two that I have are basically identical. Looking for a different model for which parts are readily available.

By default I have wound up with two B&S 5hp engines. Certain parts are getting difficult to find. What engine is the most serviceable these days?

SOLD!! Found one, used, at a local repair shop. Tank with carb, $20!

Looking for a non rusted 5hp gas tank. Located in North Georgia.

I use the ball end at the carb. On the pedal end, I grind two flats (about an 1/8") opposite each other and immediately beneath the head of a 5/16 bolt and then I drill an approximately .100" hole through the bolt. I thread the cable wire through the hole, add a flat washer and then a nut to...

For my throttle, I use a bicycle derailleur cable and secure it with a 3/16 x 1/8" npt ferule fitting screwed into a 1/8" npt coupling welded to the frame.

First attempt.

True. The old live axle kart that I posted a photo with my daughter sitting in it, never had any brakes!!

On the kart that I just sold, the band brake worked well cold but stopping diminished quite a bit when hot. Has anyone tried to drill holes around the drum flange and install some perhaps 3/8"x1" bolts to add mass and to hang out, cooling in the breeze? Or added any cooling to them at all?

I did a variation of this. Thanks

Can those mechanical discs be made to work well?

What's your location? I'm near Carrollton.

And are the parts available?

The label on the Dingo.
