Hello Clayton,
Turk Bros pn 555129 $71.90 plus shipping and handling. Watch ebay, cl, OldMiniBikes for used ones.
As I understand it, the Raptor carb is your basic 5hp Briggs FH carb. I don't know if the Raptor is like the Briggs Fun Power with wider mounting holes in the block, if not stay away from the Fun Power carbs. I have some older 5hp tiller engines and the Fun Power carbs will not mount up to them, mounting hole spacing is different. The block is not the issue (has 3 holes to mount both types of carbs) however, the carb will only mount to the wider mounting holes, which many old blocks don't have.
If you are running gas, maybe don't want one used for kart racing, they are modified to run methanol.

Hello vwfan79,
Turk Bros catalog or go to their website, online store, and search for pn 555129. Welcome to Turk Brothers Racing!!
The expensive Raptor carbs have been "blueprinted". They take a stock carb, bore it out, install larger jets, etc and charge you $125 to $150, ref 555129k and 555129k+.

Clayon,
A good kart site is Bob's 4 Cycle Karting- America's largest karting community. karting kart dirt oval racing race bobs 4 cycle forum briggs stratton sprint go Lots of good people there with good info too.
I have a nice Raptor carb. at home (not for sale, sorry) but if you want in can snap some pics for you and post on this thread if you want so you can compare the two carbs and see what the differences are between the two of them. I know that the Raptor carbs have a different diaphram cover, have the throat of the carb bored out bigger with larger butterfly plates installed, no choke on them, and you have to have an airfilter adapter to use an airfilter bc there is no threaded part that screws down thru the carb to hold filter on. I have been wondering if you could put a welch plug on the spot where the filter is supposed to go and the mount the filter on the end of the carb for more of a straight shot of air thru the carb. Similar to how a Mukuni carb looks with the filter inline with the intake instead of at a 90 degree angle coming in.
Let me know if you want the pics to compare them.
