I’m guessing this guy is so confused he’s not coming back.

I was digging that adjustable mixture carb needle. Manual chokes..... Those were the days.

I've got a feeling the tank rusted out and at some point, some one attempted to, or did, mount a regular carburetor to the engine directly.
It is a mini-bike that some 14 year old tinkered with to go as fast as he/she could. There is little chance it has original parts in it.

First you have a Briggs and Stratton engine, not a Tecumseh built in 1975. Model number 130292-0159-06-75080807. Here is a website to help you find parts and part numbers.
Thank you for the information on the mini bike

Please explain yourself, as we really have no clue what you have. A Briggs or Tecumseh engine? A Briggs carb on a Tecumseh engine? A Briggs gravity feed carb on an engine designed for a VacuJet or PulsaJet carb? What you have posted so far doesn’t make a lot of sense to a trained tech.

I have been looking at pictures of mini bikes and this one I have looks exactly like a 1971 Speedway

You are talking mini bikes, but we are talking engines, as that is what you gave us information on. We’ve received no information mini bikes, and your questions are about fuel delivery systems. Again I say “You’re not making any sense”.
