I am using rod. I don't think i can use cable because throttle does not have a spring.

What you may have to do is run the throttle linkage against the fuselage side & angle the linkage across after the firewall.
99% of model engines don't have a spring return on the throttle. The cable Huck mentions has an inner cable & an outer sleeve & is quite stiff & will pull as well as push. I find cables, either wire type or plastic type (known as snakes or Gold N Rods), the easiest for throttle linkages. - John.

Could i turn the carbi around the other way so the throttle is on the other side of the engine and just missing the fuel tank.

Can you tap a bolt hole into a fwd location of the motor mount to mount a crank that goes back to the throttle? Use ball links for connection.
