How level does the engine need to be?

[Fletch]

Hey Phillip,

Unfortunately I can't lower the front axle any because the break pads won't reach, and there is also a metal piece that is a circle with a hook basically that hooks into the frame.

A longer fork is a great idea...I hadn't considered that. Tight budget right now though.

If you want (don't mind), I have a recent thread with some details about what I'm troubleshooting right now:

I've already got some good advice, but more opinions/suggestions are always welcome.

Thanks

any old two stroke can run at any old angle, as long as its any old carb is level or designed for running upside down.

even the old floaters are pretty tolerant of any serious inclination. only real concern is when the idle/main jet is exposed due to too much angling... related to float height. and that liquid stays horizontal.
