Status: offline 		Has anyone ever taken a stock G-62 carb block (black one) cut it in half, to move carb closer to cylinder, and put the carb back on and run it with sucess? I know Ralph makes a block 3/8in. that rotates the carb (got one on the table) but this idea just struck me. Didn't take but a couple of min.

I'll answer my own question. I got a chance to run it a few days ago. Works GREAT. I'm just suprised that i'd never heard of this method of moving carb in closer. BJ

I used a bandsaw with a guide to keep the cut square.
