There's not much to tune up on a 5 horse. change the plug. If it's still running bad, remove the coil and use sandpaper to clean the flywheel contacts. If it's a very old model, they had points under the flywheel. Not many of those left. there's an adjustment on the card. That can be tricky. make sure the air filter is clean and the fuel is flowing freely. You can also drain the carb with a screw on the bottom and get any water out. that's about all you can do.
10-28-08 - You could deck the head for a little more oomph, but the engine WILL eventually grenade itself. A carb from a larger engine (significantly larger!) would get more air in, but it would be extremely finicky to get it to run smooth. I did this on an old 8 horse, using a manifold adapter home made out of wood. It eventually burned up, but it was sure fun!

How fast is a modified 5hp Briggs?
A modified 5hp Briggs & Stratton engine can achieve speeds significantly higher than its stock configuration, often reaching between 30 to 40 mph depending on the modifications made, such as carburetor upgrades, exhaust enhancements, and tuning adjustments. The actual speed also depends on the vehicle it's powering, gearing, and overall weight. Enthusiasts often push these engines to their limits for racing or go-kart applications. However, performance can vary widely based on the specific modifications and setup used.
How much oil goes into a Briggs stratton 5hp go cart motor?
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.
