1- Place washer on breather screw.
2- Roll 5⁄8" O.D. o-ring into large diameter o-ring groove closest to head of breather screw.
3- Roll 1⁄2" O.D. o-ring into small diameter o-ring groove of breather screw. Apply thin film of light grease to o-rings.
4- Repeat for other breather screw
5- Loosely install bracket on front head using spacers and breather banjo bolt assembly. See Picture 30. Install banjo bolt assembly in rear
head, but do not tighten.
NOTE: At least one thick spacer will be required between breather banjo fittings and heads. Breather fitting o-rings are easily damaged. It is suggested
that they be lubricated with light grease before installation. If possible, replacement o-rings should be obtained beforehand if banjo assemblies are
removed in future.
6- Position of backplate support bracket must be determined before backplate can be permanently installed. Temporarily install backplate.
Rotate bracket to align hole in bracket with hole in backplate. Mark position of bracket with pencil mark on cylinder head to act as guide
for final installation. Remove backplate.
7- Place ends of rubber T-hose over breather fittings for trial fit. See Picture 31. Temporarily install backplate using correct number of
spacers. Hose must be routed so as to be free of kinks and not interfere with operation of fast idle lever.
8- Remove backplate, shorten hose ends as needed for correct fit, reinstall hose and secure with tie-wraps. Tighten banjo bolt breather
screws.
9- Install backplate for final assembly. Confirm that fast idle lever has properly engaged enrichment plunger and secure backplate to
support with 1⁄4" bolt, flat washer, and locknut provided. Tighten three backplate screws to 5-7 ft-lbs (60-84 lbs).
NOTE: Backplate screws supplied with kit have pre-applied thread locking compound on threads. If screw without thread locking compound is used, a
thread locking compound such as Loctite® 242 must be applied to threads, and screws properly tightened. If screws are removed in future, Loctite® 242 or
equivalent must be applied before reinstallation.
Failure to apply thread locking compound or properly tighten screws may cause screws to loosen and fall into engine, resulting in engine
damage not covered under warranty.
