T5 172cc engine 30mm carb sat on top of a malossi reed valve, in the original frame the carb faced forward but the Frame it is going in i can reverse it to face backwards will this change the performance.

No problem running backwards. My TS1 P Range has a rear facing carb.
The Quattrini 172 kit also does.
