Okay, okay, hold on. Here's another thought. If you mount the engine sideways you'll need to reverse the mounting of the carb. That would put your highspeed needle on the top (where it shoud be) the glow plug easy to get to and a straighter line between the throttle servo arm and the engine throttle arm??? Maybe?
Yes, despite not wanting a cylinder head sticking out the side (yes, like the full scale ones
), that seems to be the cleanest way to hook up the throttle. The arm sticks out to the outer edge of the firewall so it should be fairly easy to sort out. I've turned round the carb and sat the mount on the firewall and here are some pics. I've not had a four stroke before. Is it practical to have the muffler located like in the pics ? Got to have it tidy one way or another
I'm resigned to the fact that I'll have to get another mount. Another 5mm forward and it should be ok. I can use one firewall hole but I'll need to make three new ones. Can I get away with not buying dowel to fill the other three holes ?
