Default Needle Valve Question

I have a O.S. .61 FX with the needle in the upright position, like on this [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXLL61&P=0].65 LA[/link]. Since the engine is mounted sideways, it would be more convienient to have the needle valve mounted sideways like in this [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXBY46&P=0].61 FX[/link]. My question is, how can I change the position from upright to sideways on a .61 FX? Thanks for your time

Hi there are three screws on your .61 LA needle valve assembly. Remove them and turn the needle valve to the position you want it to be mounted.

Metal Remote Needle Valve Allows Change From A Vertical to Horizontal
Orientation.
The quote is from tower hobbies for your engines.

Hi!
Just remove them screws and place the needle bracket into the position you want!

You need to remove the silver banjo fitting with the plug and the needle valve housing and swap their locations.
