My carburetor isn't fitting on the frame. What's the best way to fix it?

I feel like there's no way to get this to fit other than to completely re-mount the engine at a different angle, but I'm not sure how to go about that since I'm pretty sure I have it mounted on the way it's supposed to be. It would also mean having to undo and redo a lot of stuff like the chain and pully alignment which was hard for me since this is my first attempt at a build. What should I do?

Oh, nice! Thanks for the link to a product. The ones I was just checking out on Amazon look kind of sketchy.

You could maybe get a straight one, your carb and air filter might fit with this shorty.

Worked for me

I also am running the straight shorty for clearance.

That bolt that holds the clutch cable needs to be tightened all the way down to give you more clearance for the carb. Looks like it will work if all the way down. One of those off set intakes should be your answer. Remember carbs with floats work best being level.

Which bolt are you referring to?

He's talking about the part that screws into the case that you put the cable through before you attach it to the clutch arm. If you screw it down more you will have a little more clearance for the carb.
