Default RE: Evolution 58gx2

I received my Evolution 58 gx2 today. Horizon replaced the front and rear bearings, the front seal and the reed valve. I had rotated the back of the engine 180 degrees to angle the carb upwards for a better fit on the firewall. It came back with it in the normal position. I decided to mount it that way which required cutting a larger hole in the fire wall and swapping the throttle and choke servos. I tried to call the tech to see if he had a problem with the carb rotated 180 degrees, but never got in touch with him. Since it is still under warranty, I decided to leave it in the normal position. The weather looks bad for the weekend, so I will have to wait to try it out. The engine has less than 5 gallons of gas and I broke it in per the manual. With so much power you rarely run it full throttle. I will post the results of the test flight.
