thanks that helps
Rick,General consensus is that the closer to the carb/ tank arrangement, the better- as illustrated
by Tyler's Warlock.
Sometimes, packaging constraints dictate placement aft of the engine mounting, as was the case
with my JRX 45 hydro. I've not noticed any fuel draw/ supply issues, and it does offer a stiffer,
shorter coupled pushrod.

Frank,Doesn't anyone build or use the small aluminum block type remote valves anymore?
I always liked them just for this reason....you could mount them to the side of the hull and the arm didn't take a lot of swing for adusting..
Frank,
Not sure what you're referring to, but there are at least two "aluminum block" needle bases available that use the OS inflight needle valve assembly that are very compact. The Speedmaster is very similar to the one Don Ferrette offers. The primary difference being that the Ferrette block is purchased as a "left or right" version, and both inlet and outlet are on the same side, with both mounting holes on the other side. I would assume they function identically once configured as needed.
Thanks. Brad.

Frank,This is the style I'm taking about... they were made by Pinckert I think.. there were many copies..
