Jon, I have a Laser 180 Vee twin, it is an excellent engine, it is predecessor to the 200, It turns a 16x8 three blade at 7,800, the carbs are above the top of the fuse and yet it still has great fuel draw. At the time I got mine the radial mount was optional and did not come with it, I made a diamond shaped mount for it so I could adjust the low speed needles, the radial mount would be much better.
