I have the same setup and didn't really notice it too much until I tried to mount the oval air cleaner. Took out the grinder and after about two hours of working on the air cleaner mount I got it to fit. Had to drill an oversized hole for the float adjustment screw to recess into but I just put an oversized piece of inner tube rubber underneath to keep from pulling air in through the hole. Other than that I don't have any problems with performance. You could get a spacer as Ernie said and have it machined to take away the tilt. I say machined because it has to be perfectly true to the carb and manifold in order to get the proper seal. If you do use a grinder on any part that is aluminum, throw the wheel away after use as I've seen the aluminum get stuck to the wheel and then come flying off when it is used on steel. VERY DANGEROUS.
