So I just picked up what I believe is a home built MB with a 65 4HP Briggs. Cleaned the carb and gas tank and it fired right up but won't run with a load on it. my thought it the throttle config is wrong I have looked and looked and have not found anything that is the same config as what I...

So I just got my latest bike running sort-of Pretty sure its a homebuilt but someone did a nice job on it. It has a 4HP POWR-KRAFT Briggs motor and it came free with some 20 Year old gas/sludge anyone pulled the tank de-rusted it, pulled the carb cleaned all the jets and holes I could...

So I just picked this up from CL for $60. If I'm not mistaken it's a Sears Roper. It has some rough edges but over its a nice bike. Currently doesn't run it has a Tecumseh 6.0hp. Not sure it that is original to the bike or not. Also it does not have a jackshaft did all Ropers come with them...

I have a 1980 Yamaha LB50 that a got in several pieces the first item I need to locate for it is a Carb. It seems like most of them for this bike are kind of pricey (120+). Are there other cheaper options? Can I run any carb that close to the stock size with some creative adapting? Thanks Eric
