Step 27. Slide the silicone coupler (174) over the end of the exhaust
header (171) as shown.

Step 25. Adjust the gear mesh between the clutch bell gear (159) and
the spur gear (91) by sliding the engine mounts (164) in the slots of
the chassis (19). In order to function properly, the gears should be as
close as possible, but still have a small amount of backlash (space
between the gear teeth). You should be able to rock one gear back
and forth slightly while holding the other one steady. Be sure to
check the gear mesh all the way around the spur gear (91).
Step 26. Once the engine alignment and gear mesh are correct , tighten
all of the screws (173). Re-check the gear mesh after all the screws are
tight to ensure the motor mounts did not move.

Step 29 . Cut a 3" (75mm) length from the fuel tubing (176) supplied
with the kit. Slide the fuel tubing (176) over the end of the pipe mount-
ing bracket (177) as shown. Slide the pipe mounting bracket (177)
over the tuned pipe (175) as shown.
*NOTE: Some kits may come with two types of fuel tubing. For
this step use the opaque (non-transparent) fuel tubing.
Step 30. Place a #4 washer (23) over a 4-40 x 3/8" cap-head screw (17).
Thread the screw (17) through the pipe mounting bracket (177), into
the hole in the top of the center chassis brace (29), and tighten.
