Default os 120 4 stroke

im installing a 120 4 stroke non pumped in a hanger 9 corsair / i see the centre of the tank is about 2 inches above the needle/ will this cause any performance problems. i had this in a 120 ultra stick and it worked great but the engine was mounted at 90 degree. in the corsair it is on a 45 dgree up from the bottom.

It would certainly be better if it was centered

Try running it and see how it does. I've seen people get away with using a high tank

You will have to watch about it siphoning fuel out on the ground

Those engines are from the 80's

They can be fixed by Clarence Lee

He has an ad in the classified section of Model Aviation magazine every month

Clarence Lee is perfectly capable of repairing both heads if you decide to go that way.

Here is a picture of a broken Saito exhaust he repaired

You need the tappet covers or the head?
