B&S Carb set-up

[r33uck]

I ordered a B&S 1100 Intek today. It does not come with a adjustable throttle carb. I was thinking of putting a dirt bike carb on it (fab up an adapter). Has anyone ever done this? What size carb would be appropriate? I have a carb off an XR250 (same displacement as the B&S). Or does anyone have any suggestions of a B&S carb or the likes to bolt on? Thanks for any and all input!

the xr250 carb would be far too big. something in the 26mm range would be better (maybe too big).

I looked on ebay and a "high performance" mikuni for XR50's is 24mm....would this work? I am open to using a briggs carb or similar carb already set-up for carts. What are my options here? Thanks!

Do you have a caliper? Go measure the venturi on your carb that is on the engine. Also, what is keeping the carb from being adjustable?

I plan on building a full caged buggy later n down the road. For now I want to stay child friendly . I guess nothing keeps it from being adjustable . I will just have to fab a linkage with return spring.

i'm gonna guess your talking about the governor if you want it to be child friendly i'd say leave it on, if you post a pic of all the linkage then we should be able to get you set up
