Already had this Happening, luckily i was running on a concrete/astroturf track that day so it didn't do to much damage to the engine.

i just reatached the fuel filter, an routed the fuel line under the tank shield after the filter. so fuel Comes "from the front" to the engine. Guess this is the shortest Routing possible, and it doesnt bind with the linkage
Good tip and easy to do. Thanks, Roboterblut. Trimmed both plates, while trying to maintain integrity of the splash shield. Still holding off on re-installing the Mugen fuel filter. May have to at some time in the future. For now, so far, so good.
