There is no such thing as a Briggs and Stratton Go Kart motor. Yes, you may be using it in a kart, but it wasn't designed for it. So we need Model number to give you a proper answer, though I will give you a clue you can follow. In all the B and S engines I ever worked on, there was a small dipstick that screwed into the oil pan from the top. Most of the ones I remember took about 3 pints of oil and this could be accurately measured by this dipstick.

You can adjust the valves on your 17 horsepower Briggs and Stratton engine by turning the adjustment screws. The adjustments screws will determine how much fuel goes into the piston chamber.
won't stay running starts and goes then stalls Sounds like might be a float ,fuel filter or maybe just needs a good cleaning. Hope this helps.
The fuel system on a Briggs and Stratton engine works by fuel being gravity feed from the fuel tank. Fuel goes to the carburetor where air and gas the mix, after the air and fuel mix it is feed into the engine where the engine goes through the four strokes.

You have your lines on wrong. Make sure you have the one with the arrow in coming from the tank, the one pointing out goes to the carb and the one with no arrow goes to the last one
You can not set the timing. It is determined by the keyway between the flywheel and the crankshaft. It only goes in one place. You can adjust the coil, the valves and the carburetor.
