My neighbor (I'll deal with him later..) gave my 12-year old a go cart. Nice, thanks very much.
Briggs and Stratton 135212 5HP with a completely rusted out gas tank, pulsa-jet carb that looks like a YAK threw up in it, etc.
So... standard hole pattern I guess, 3/4 keyed shaft, etc.
Trying to replace this has proven to be quite the ordeal. I live in the eastern panhandle of WV, near Washington D.C., tractor supply has what seem to be suitable engines, the issue appears to be the throttle hook up, I'm not even into governors yet...
advice here? I stumbled upon the suburu based EX17 but in drop shipping an engine I have to make sure I can use the thing without serious modifications.
What is the consensus w/r to locally available that I would modify or... what do I order?
Thanks in advance,
Father of a very anxious 12-year old
