the carb adapter is a stock item on some homelites certtain models has this manifold , I have several of them . or you can order one but the bell crank system works just fine. I have done this on many of my engines without any problems , the pic was ment to show the lip not the carb mount , I couldn't find a photo of one with the bell crank aded but I will keep looking.
Thanks Ken, will look for the adapter but I'm starting to think I can get away with a traditional bell crank (see my post with pics - they worked!).
