Tillotson carb....

[mustangjoe413]

Is it worth putting one on an otherwise stock 5hp briggs?

from my understanding, an analogy to that would be, that would be like putting a 32 mikuni carb on a stock gx390

Or, a holley 1150 dominator on a stock 302 ford motor....kind of what I thought...

 

[bajagokart]

Exactly! It's a bit of an overkill for a stock engine lol like on a gx390, if you have a billet rod flat top piston and a cam with 350 life or something then you need that carb but if it's stock it's wasting your money

Mod it up, and sure. My lightly modified 5HP was taking a Tilly great.
