Every other B&S engine I've had starts on the 1st pull (mostly) and runs perfect no matter what for many years but this 3.5 HP doesn't so I took it in and they supposedly tuned it up and cleaned the carb. It starts after about 8pulls but I have to keep messing with the throttle and idle and then...

What are your opinions on modern engines on restored vintage minibikes? I know budget is a huge concern. I restored this Taco 44 and threw an old edger's B&S 2hp on it.

Isn't a one wheel driven kart best for...
