I'll stop by the the hardware store and grab some slightly longer bolts tomorrow. The rear left bolt doesn't go in to very easy either, it doesn't get straightened out enough to go in and took some light tapping in with the handle of a screw driver. Looks like the fuel lines will need some fabrication to match up to the carb. Also I'll need a new fuel filter, the old glass one looks sweet but doesn't filter anything. I'll check out the throttle linkage and choke cable tomorrow and see if they're going to work or not.
No idea why the photos show up sideways on here :-/

looks like your filter should have an element in it. that bolt appears to be a little long. more than likely should be studs in there that come up through then all you have to do is put the nuts on, sometimes you can put that type of bolt in first and lift the carb up, put the bolt in and then thread it in. make sure that it doesn't bottom out. one should never force a bolt to start it. one should always start by finger first to make sure theu start ok or you will be having greater problems. A BFH doesn't always solve the problem. that fuel filter should be moved a little further away from the carb so that it sits right
