Wheeler Schebler carb questions
The carb on the right has on inlet that faces straight back. The carb on the left faces toward the frame. Is the left one adjustable and I can turn it to face straight back?
Since the inlet is down low compared to an NH, how have you run the fuel line and is there a way I can put a valve in the line that I can reach so I can turn off the fuel at the engine?
Thank you.

Re: Wheeler Schebler carb questions
If the left one's inlet is a banjo fitting then it should be able to be turned wherever by design.Loosen the nut & turn. Why would the shutoff mounting be any different than for a NH?

Re: Wheeler Schebler carb questions
These were made as more or less direct replacements for the standard T carb but you may need to bend the fuel line. You can get a 1/8th inch pipe thread ball valve then use a 1/8" pipe to straight thread flare adapter or install the valve in the fuel line as a standalone shut off.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas!

Thank you for telling me what a banjo fitting is. I looked it up and now I understand how it works.
With the inlet on the bottom the fuel line has to drop about 3 inches. I wasnt sure if there is room for the bends and a valve.
