Default Offset carb adapter needed

Does anyone know where to get a carb adapter similar to the Zenoah g20/g26 type that would rotate the carb about 90 degress counter clockwise so the throttle linkage could be connected without any type of bell crank? I converted one of the MAC engines and it runs great but not sure how i'll connect the throttle linkage if i can't rotate the carb...i really want to avoid a complicated bell crank if possible. Heres a couple pics so you can visualize this and 1 of what this engine started out as.

Thanks
JG

I looked at that easy link adapter and it seemed similar to the one that i have on it as far as the bolt pattern. I'll check it again..Thanks

www.toni-clark.com they are sized for popular Zenoahs, so have your intake port measured, and special attention if you need a pulse port....and bolt spacing before you start shopping....unless the capt has another source.

www.DavesMotors.com also has some pretty trick stuff for scooter engines, many of which will share something close for intake port measurements, that you can modify on your own.

Buck...thats just photos of the intake adapters. I right click on a photo I want to save and place it in Picasa. Then I can show things like that. A photo is worth a thousand words. Also I can study the part and try and make one with my mill and lathe. I got photos of about every trick engine thing I have seen on a computer!!! Capt,n
