While its not a big deal if your running a remote tank, I could only find this style carb with a straight out the side inlet. that is kind of a pain when its on a self contained engine where the line has to snake though the shroud, It doable but it does not want to cooperate too well usually. It also clearly does not look correct for that application.
The inlets are pressed into the body of the carb, I hit the emtpy body with a touch of some heat for a few seconds and then grabbed the inlet and gave it a twist with some pliers while it was securely mounted in the vice. Anytime I have a dead carb I yank whatever will come off it and try to save it so I have few inlets and will use whatever suits the build best, since these press in, you gotta kinda use your discretion on sealant. Just a quick test fit of this one and I am gonna want a dab of something to make me fell better its tight but I could do it by hand with some force, most older carbs I have to press them back in with the vice.
