Thanks again, I'll give it a go. Granpoopa the reason I'm rotating it is because the throttle servo per instructions is mounted behind the fuel tank and the linkage runs besides the tank and out the firewall. That to me means I'd have to have the throttle linkage coming out low just under the engine mount. My Saito having the engine mounted on it's side with the exhaust and heads facing out the right side of the cowl has the throttle linkage up toward the top of the engine compartment. Did your Saito line up like mine and if so how did you route the linkage.
Thanks again,
Pat
My Saito .91 is mounted sideways in my RV70 with the head and exhaust facing to the right side of the model. I did not have to change anything on my Saito as the throttle rod / linkage lined up perfectly. I am thinking that perhaps somebody at the factory just mounted the carb on your Saito facing in the wrong direction and as stated all you would have to do is rotate it 180 degrees.
As stated by Jim all you have to do is just make sure that your O rings are properly seated. Just take your time, be careful with the rotation and I am sure that it will work out fine.
As I said, I had to do the same thing with my Saito 125 to mount it in my Christen Eagle. I have had about five 4 stroke engines and this was the first that I ever had to rotate the carb.
