Thanks. After a lot of trial and error, I think I finally found the sweet spot for this motor. I can't get the carb really in a straight line and clearance is only about 3.5mm, but it's better than I had. Any more to the left and I don't have enough clearance. Any more to the right and it's right at the filter.
