I know I have read about this here in the past but can not find it.

which direction should the carb be mounted? float bowl towards the front or back? does it matter?

this is for a solovee with a stock 1600 and a 30PICT carb if that matters.

Thanks.

If it was on there before, I'm thinking that the throttle linkage may provide the best answer.

Of course, as I discovered with many things on my own Vee, that doesn't mean that it was done correctly by the last owner.....

Well it technically was on there, but nothing was attached to anything else. i fact the transaxle was loosely bolted onto the engine with only the 2 upper bolts. I still need to get the lower studs. Throttle linkage was not attached at all. Im in the process of creating a new throttle set up and it would be way easier one way and not so easy the other.

One the 1200 we run to bowl forward to avoid fuel sloshing under heavy braking. Take a look at your carb and see if there is a float chamber breather entering the bore of the carb. This is what we have in the 28pic and fuel will run up that breather line and down the throat. When the float is forward, it can't run up the brass line.
