1/12 Miss Bud - Tiger Drive Install

[DD716TED]

More help please.... I just finished replacing the pull start unit with the TigerDrive starting system in my Miss Bud. Now I have run into another problem I hope someone else has already solved... When reinstalling the motor, the starter unit is deeper than the previous pull start unit and rests up against the fuel tank outlet thus pinching off the fuel line. It appears as though the only way to solve this is to relocate the fuel outlet to the corner of the tank but how? The tank is nylon. I haven't been able to see a newer model ProBoat that has this system preinstalled to see how this problem is overcome.. I have attached a picture to show what I am talking about. Comments / suggestions needed and appreciated... I want to get my boat back in the water...

Can you take out the fuel tank and mount it in the reversed position

The problem has been solved.. The TigerDrive kit that I bought from ProBoat came with a Metal Finned gear cover that was a little longer than the original pull cord starter unit.. thus it pinched the fuel line as shown in the first post picture... I removed the metal gear cover and replaced it with shorter plastic gear cover that came as a part of another TighrDrive unit.. Now the motor fits with the TigerDrive and the fuel line isn't pinched.. Picture below shows different cover / uncrimped fuel line.
