Default Remote needle valve question

I have a T.H. .61 engine. The remote needle valve is in the way of the motor mount. My question is about fuel flow. Will the valve work in both flow directions? If I twisted the valve, and use the outlet as the inlet, it would fit very well. I thought I would ask here before I tried it out.

Default Remote needle valve question

The needle valve will work fine in either direction. In fact, you could also mount the needle valve on the fuselage along side the carb?

Enjoy,

Jim

Default You can make it a front needle....

....remove that little chrome cap off the side of the
carb, and put the needle and related parts into the
side of the carb.....and PRESTO....a front needle carb.

Save the remote needle for a smoker project....

Dave.
