just got my lrp .32 in the mail today and seller said carburetor would come so it fits the savage x ......however its backwards so the HSN is in the left side of the engine.......can i take the carb off and spin it around or do i need to return it?

Yep, you can spin it around and use it, I had to do the same on my 454. There's one bolt on the block that holds the carb in place, loosen that and spin the carb around. Then if you need to turn the ball connector on the end of the rod to hook up your throttle servo linkage, there's a tiny hex screw on the end opposite to the ball connector. Loosen that and it will spin right around.

When you lock it in, make sure you press really hard on the carb throat to compress the O-ring till the carb is secured.

Ok sounds good I will. I'm assuming if the carb isn't tight enough it will leak fuel?

More likely it will have an air leak. Leading to high run temps, poor performance, and tuning problems.

Air leak, for sure.

 

[Bmk10]

Okay cool well I am going to make sure it's sealed then! Haha
Also I might put some high temp silicone on it.... Don't remember who but someone on here told me that it will help with air leaks

It sure does.

Cool! Thanks
