Guys,

I have a problem and need some advise. I'm in the process of mounting my Saito .91 using the standard mount included in the kit. I believe I saw posts of guys using this same mount with up to .100 sized Saitos, but I can't see a way to make it work without removing one of the bolts used to attach the carb to the engine body.

With it mouted as is, the engine front of the engine case (the mounts) are about 1mm from the tip of the engine mount - it's about as far forward as (I think) you can safely get while still being close to the suggested dimensions in the manual (5" from FW to back of spinner plate). The only alternatives I can see is removing material from the engine mount or removing the that part of the bracket all together, using a different mount (suggestions?) or doing what I have done.

While the carb is extremely important, I can't initially see how this piece undergoes enough strain where I can't safely remove one bolt. I did use blue locktite on the remaining bolt to keep it securely in place.

Is this a really bad idea? How did you guys with .91's or 100's get these mounted with the stock mount?

Please see the attached pictures and let me know any ideas. You can see where the one engine mount bolt (silver) is right up against the back of the motor where the other black carb bolt should be.

Thanks -

Wayne
