Tec 3.5 carb and intake

#1
Got this nice little Craftsman 3.5 Tec for free. Runs pretty good, except for the diaphragm carb leaking. The primer connection on the bottom of the diaphragm is leaking pretty good, and it leaks gas into the air filter when sitting.

Since I am putting it in a minibike, I would like to change over to the round bore intake and a standard bowl carb. Anyone have one laying around? Maybe the linkage/spring also...

I will also need the minibike throttle bracket that goes on the shroud...

And where can I find the screw in plug that replaces the dipstick?





Can anyone help?

After some further thought on this, I will have to use the dipstick tube on this. There is no front fill and once the chainguard is in there, would be hard to get to it without the dipstick.

Is the governor arm longer with the shorter drop round style intake? Seems like it won't line up anymore. Another bridge to cross....

Yes, but no word from him yet. In the mean time, I am sticking one of the HS50s from you in there. Got it fired up with a carb cleaning and sounds great. Too bad its not white to match the bike...
