Novarossi, turning carb 180 degree's

[Chrislong]

Just building my first 8th Nitro, engine is in etc, and the carb is facing 180 degrees in the wrong direction - the throttle linkage is over the exhaust!!!

How do I turn it around easily, there must be a way.

Im also struggling with a really strong single exhaust spring that I need 2 pairs of hands for. Wish I had noticed this and picked up some twin springs from JE yesterday. Oh well.
