I have a general conversion question on my 30cc homelite. I didn't want to start a new thread for my question so I posted here. I have a stamped sheet metal back plate on my Homie 30 and it has a rolled. raised edge on the outside.

My Question is: Do you trim that raised edge off before mounting the flat alum. mounting plate to the back of the engine. This is my first Homie covert. I have only done older Poulans up till now so this generated a question in my mind.

Thanks.
