I am trying to mount an old Techumseh h-40 to an old rupp minibike frame. I have a question regarding the angle at which the motor will sit. It will not be completely level, it will be at a tilt where the carb side will be about an inch or two higher than the opposite side. I am wondering.. does anyone know if this will be a problem as far as oil circulation? There must be a factory spec, as far as what is the highest degree of tilt allowed when mounting these engines. I have searced the web and found nothing. any help would save me a lot of healing.

Thanks in advance

update... you can mount the Tec engine at a slant with no issues. no slant intake needed. apparantly, the carb still works when tilted forward. go figure. Rupps were set up for an HS-40. My H-40 is a shoehorn fit, but runs like a raped ape.

   i   dont think there is goingto be a carb issue.  you have a diaphragm carb,  these can be ran at any angle.

That carb in the picture is not my carb... I have the standard Tec bowl type...In theory, this should not work, but in the real world it works like magic.
