Pictures of Barth 1/3 Engine install. It wasn't easy. First photo is Horizon 152GX with rear carb. It has been withdrawn and no longer available. Second and third photos show an early build of Barth 1/3 in Europe where modeler built a bridge style engine mount to clear carb linkage, etc. Fourth , fifth, and sixth were my attempt at standoffs that needed to clear throttle, choke linkage and fuel inlet. It was kinda Rube Goldberg and I abandoned it. WacoNut advised me standoffs not recommended for his engine. Seventh and eight are a box I developed in place of standoffs plus a mechanism to work throttle and choke.

Last photo is new MVSS 152 available in Europe(earlier version identical to Horizon 152GX). It has been redesigned with a bottom mounted carb. Much cleaner design.I am done grumbling about this. It is a horrible design and a nightmare to package. I now hope it runs well.
