INSTALLATION OF THE CARBURETOR

As delivered, the engine has its carburetor

lightly fit into the intake boss. Secure it as

follows.

1. Loosen the retainer screw, rotate the

carburetor to its correct position and make

sure that it is pressed well down into the

intake boss, compressing the rubber gasket,
before retightening screw.

2. Rotate the retainer screw gently until it

stops, then tighten a further 60-90°.

Do not overtighten the screw as this will

damage the carburetor body.

Rotate the retainer nut

gently until it stops.

ENGINE INSTALLATION

Make sure that the vehicle's engine mounting

surfaces are level and in the same plane. Poor

installation may cause distortion of the

crankcase, bearings, etc., resulting in erratic

running and loss of performance.

The recommended screws for securing the
engine are 3mm or 4-40 steel Allen hexagon
socket type.

If existing holes in the engine mount do not align

perfectly with engine mounting lugs, enlarge

them slightly with a needle-file so that screws are

in alignment with the mounting holes.

Do not allow bottom

of crankcase to
touch chassis.

Chassis

Chamfer inside edges of bearers.

Tighten a further 60-90"
