Needing a little advice. I am mounting the intake maifolds and carbs on a model IV (912UL). I am sure I have to swap the maifolds to get the carbs in the wide arrangment to clear the motor mount. But, do the carbs swap too or do they stay on the original side or does it matter? The issue is the throttle cable routing. 

Thanks, Brett

Brett,



The carbs do not get swapped, only the manifolds.

So that means the linkages will be on the outside?

Bret, For what it's worth, my carbs are installed so the throttle cables are 

inward - in other words on the hard side to work with.  I just checked my 

manual and there is a picture of the carbs mounted the other way, but the 

manifolds are not swapped in the picture, so I don't know what that means.



If you have the bell crank throttle splitter under the panel, you definitely 

want the throttle arms inboard as outboard the throttel cable would 

interfere with the battery - at least where mine is placed and the geometry 

between the carb throttle arms and the bell crank would be way off.



If you would like a picture direct drop a note.



Incidentally, this talk of Model IV building brings back some great 

memories.  I wish you guys were closer, It'd be great to pay a visit and 

rekindle the old flames.

Thanks guys. I have been collecting pictures for a while and use them often. I have found all configurations. Manifolds and carbs. I had not thought about having the likage inboard makes adjustment tough but I am concerned with cable length.



Lowell, there is one way to cure that need to build.
