Cub fuel strainer position

Thank you very much to the folk who clued me that the hexagonal protrusion beneath the fuel tank was a foreighn object. This morning I took a wrench to it and off it came. I chased the threads in the bottom of the fuel tank with a 5/8X18 tap (or maybe it was a 9/16X18). Then the fuel strainer screwed right in.

Question: where "should" the fuel outlet on the strainer be pointing? Ninety degrees to the long axis of the Cub? Toward the front of the Cub? Somewhere in between?
Thanks. I am gonna get that strainer on the fuel tank today fer sure.
 
You might want to wait until the tank is back on the tractor so you can orient the sediment bowl properly to the fuel line.
 
You should have chased the threads with a pipe tap. I suggest using some thread dope, my preference is teflon paster type.

The outlet should point as Bigdog said, directly to the left. I would do as rustyfarmall said, turning it to final alignment after the tank is reinstalled.
 
Thank you for the good advice. I decided to wait until the hood was on before attaching the fuel strainer. So... I proceeded to put the hydraulic lift on for the first time and in the process did not remove the throttle rod although I did remove the choke rod. When I got done the tail light was no longer working, but the starter does work. After tightening wire connections and unsucessfully locating the issue, I sighed and put the Cub to bed for the night. Next I will check to see whether I have power to the front lights and go on from there. I may have to remove the hydraulic lift and work on the electrical again.
 
Thank you. I will look through my collection of taps and see if there is a 3/8 inch pipe tap among them. I may have to buy one. Once I get the electrical circuits working again , that is. It may be a couple of days.
