Easy buddy!

I think what you mean is that the throttle is the other way around right?

Open up the carb set screw (NOT the idle set screw). Take out the carb, turn it around, and reseat it in there!

DO NOT twist the carb in place. You might shave something off and it might drop into the crankcase without you knowing it!
Take your time, and make sure you have a good seal. And hey.. maybe this is a good time to add in some silicone sealent!

I was able to get it in,but the linkage is causing the carb to bind. It is not pulling straight. Also the idle screw is hitting the flywheel.

nitrofreak - i had this exact same problem when i installed my CV-R with a slide carb in my NTC3. loosen that screw again to move the carb - angle the carb, so that it almost hits the cooling fins. This will allow for a more straight on approach of the throttle linkage.
