Alternate carb

[Jim turner]

What is a good alternative carb for a 5hp on a yard kacr?

What exactly are your goals for the kart?

Just racing around the back yard. The carb that is on it now is very small and has a remote tank. I believe the engine is off a snow blower.

Be more specific than a 5HP.
Which engine? Briggs? Honda? Techumseh? ...
Model number might be helpful too.

I dont know why you need a carb. I'm assuming you want to go faster.

Before you do that, these mods will provide way better performance then a new carb:
Higher gear ratio
Torque converter
Governor removal
New jet/straight pipe

B&S 5 hp horizontal shaft. Don't know the model number.I would like to keep the remote tank, it is mounted above the engine. The carb is very difficult to connect the throttle cable to, I can not get a straight pull on the throttle.
Thanks

Well if you want to go faster, governor removal will free up some rpm of the engine (from 3600 to about 5200).

I assumed it was a briggs, but I've never played around with one.
I was trying to see if an Animal Carb or L206 carb (something like a PZ22) would work for you, but not sure the type of manifold you might need. Not sure if something like this would fit.
