Coo, my original concern was the screws from the metal plate rubbing through the fiberglass. I guess I could lengthen the line and tie it back. Then I thought a 90 degree fitting would work, but that is just another unwanted connection. Then I thought I could spin the carb, but it would require re routing the throttle linkage and extending the high end needle out the other side. You are right, just lengthen the line and tie it back. No problems with a longer length? Joe
