The carb is backwards from the normal position, but it will work like this as well. In some cases the carb does need to be reversed like this to accomodate the throttle pushrod. WHen this is done an extension will need to be made for the needle valve.

It's definitely assembled the other way around of what you should expect in a two stroke. I wonder if it makes any real difference if you run it this way. It's funny that Tower didn't notice.

Might tend to cause a kink in the fuel line like it is.

Unless you really need it this way, take it off and turn it around 180 degrees. It will be easier to get the fuel hose on and off. I did this once on purpose when the engine was side mounted on a delta wing plane with no landing gear. The intent was to keep the needle valve from breaking when I belly landed in the grass. Worked well.

i had to run a setup like that in a profile, in a st engine.... i had originally had a 4S on it and didnt want to relocate the throttle servo so reversing the carb was my only viable option for ease. I posted a question about it and got the green light
