The issue is the horn is to tall by a guess of a 1/4 inch. And the throttle linkage is also on a bad angle. I have tried to rotate the carb barrel and turning the carb but I will not run it this way, Know it will eventually burr my carb or blow the servo. The throttle servo is a savox 1258. Suggestions would be great. But overall very impressed with everything else
I would check your install of the bladders. Use a 2mm wrench and seat the bladder in the cap well. Then use a wrench through the cap to make a t-handle to tighten well. The holes are supposed to leak out excess oil. It looks like your car hasn't been ran yet so I may guess it's just excess oil.
The throttle linkage is pretty typical in the fashion you have it set up. Mugen's stock setup is very similar. I run the Dynamite linkage and have for many years. I also space up my top slider nut (not sure what else to call it) with a steel pivot ball (turnbuckle end).
Running the carb at an angle will not hurt anything. In fact, in some cases it is better to run it at an angle. Especially to get it further from the center diff. top plate. The chassis flexes and rams the top plate. This will result in a damaged carb barrel or needle. You do not want a bent needle. You'll wonder why your tune is so finicky and blame it on something else and never find the problem.
I hope this helps. Good luck!
