Can't help you with the YAK but I have one in the Extra 260. As they both use the same instruction manual they should be the same. I used stand-offs to clear the carb and cut the box to the recommended length and angle. Only adjustment I needed when done was up-thrust. Needed quite a bit. You will need to replace the metal angles that came with the plane. Mine cracked top to bottom at the bend after about 3 or 4 flights. I replaced them with 1/8" thick aluminum angle from the LHS. Here's a few pics. Last one is the manual choke setup I did.
