is recommended that the four motor mounts .
be removed and the engine raised up 3 to 4 in·
ches. USing a block of wood, block engine up
securely.
1. Turn the handlebar to the straight-ahead posi-
tion .
2. Place a long stra ightedge against the outside
edge of the track so it lies along the inside
edge of the left sk i.

NOTE: The straightedge should be long
enough to extend from the back of the track
to the front of the ski.
3. Measure the distance from the straightedge
to the edge of the ski in two places. Take one
measurement from the forward end and the
other from the rearward end.
