reversed caburator???
 
Is there a way that the carb on a os engine be reversed so that control for it would be on opposite side and it can be done are there any pros and cons.

Which OS engine? Some have a remote needle valve & some don't. Do you mean installing the carb backward?

You can reverse the carb on many engines, not sure about your's though.

As you've heard already, many can be reversed, but one small problem is that the fuel nipple is usually pointing backward. If you reverse the carb, it will now point forward.

If it were me... I'd just put a control rod tube on the proper side for your engine and not try to muck around with carb reversal.
