ok i have an old 5hp tec. engine. when i got it it had no muffler, the carb was stopped up with a bunch of trash, and the timing key was missing. ive since done enough to get it running minus putting exhaust on it.
the carb has got the red primer bulb on the side that is really close (less than 1/2 inch) to the piece of 3/4 pipe ive got for it, i got a 1" section, with a 45 deg to try to mount the muffler and its still close, ive also used a 6" section and it is close also.

i dont really like how ive gotton the throttle connected, and was thinkin about getting another carb that will work better but dont know where to get one. i dont have any motorcycle salvage yard, and dont want to go and buy one from some of the lawnmower shops incase it dont fit/dont work.

im wanting something cheap just to get the cart to move, and then im gonna get a 6.5 clone motor

well, the intake and exhaust ports are side by side. im having problems with the carb linkage, ive thought about cutting a plate to make a flang and making a header for it, to move it away from the carb. or making an adapter for the carb to move the carb away from the motor a little ways.
