Yes even a 2/56 bolt needs to be filed down it's so close and I shaved a little of the shroud to have clearance. It pays to have an rtl fastener kit so I could use the shortest socket head as possible.
Check out rtl fastner best place to buy socket head bolts and socket head servo screws etc

I ended up making some custom throttle and choke arms for mine. The stock ones will work, but I felt a little better about this setup.

Ouch missed the first attempt at the choke I see. I opted for a choke servo since the motor is a monster and wouldn't noctice the weight. I had a smooth pipe on my 61 and it was ballistic it really only needs a can for a better sound.

You weren't supposed to see that. The geometry worked a lot better in the second spot. In the removable engine dome of my Carf there just wasn't any more room for a servo.

Lol

It's a bit crowded in there.

Naaaaaa..... Just enough room for another servo.

At times I'd rather get poked in the eye with a sharp stick than take that dome off. To make it balance I needed to mount all the batteries in the dome. They're Duralite's with a charge lead and a power lead, then add the Sparkswitch and everything else there are 11 connections to deal with.

For jetpainter,where did you find those carb arms?unless you made them by yourself?

Terry here is a mounting template for the 61
It might help you out
