Ralph I shortened the bolts and remade the threaded rod between the carb and push rod. As I said I used your insulator which allowed me to turn the carb over and put the throttle plate on the bottom away from the magneto. I screwed the carb on and those screws did SQUEAK as they went in. I used flat and lock washers and it was difficult to get them in. I could have cut another 1/16" off the screw I guess. Here's a pic of the finished product. I want to thank you Ralph for the insulator. I hope, with the 167, my deadsticks will be over. It sure makes tuning alot easier.
