Do these systems need to be installed directly over the carbs to be most effective? I installed mine (Blazecut) on the underside to the engine cover positioned so it goes directly over each carb. ( copying Will Hesch's install).
My issue is that the tubing over the carb on the passenger side slightly rubs the top of the carb when the engine lid is closed. (my carbs sit higher than Will's). If I move the tubing off the lid and surround the engine lower down on the side of the engine, will it still be effective in a carb fire?
I know this is probably a better question for the Blazecut guys, but I thought I'd bounce it off you guys too, with hopes of some suggestions for an alternative installation.
Thanks, Bill

You definitely don't want it to rub on the carburetor. The tube is designed to rupture at 248 degrees but it could also rupture if you wear a hole in the tube.
