Default Putting engine upright on Ultra Stick?

Hello everyone,

I am using a lighter engine mount for my Ultra Stick 40 and it will only fit if the mount is vertical like in a standard trainer and not the way the instructions direct.

Are there any problems with mounting it upright?

Thanks,
Jake

The only problem comes if it make the carb sit too high in relation to the fuel tank. Normally the carb should be about the same height as the center of the fuel tank. If you run muffler pressure and make sure you don't tune super lean you'll be OK.

Bigger fuel mess. More paper towel and spray.
