FUEL TANK.

INSTALLING THE STOPPER ASSEMBLY

1 1) The stopper has been pre-assembled
at the factory.
1 2) Using a modeling knife, cut one length
of silicon fuel line (the length of silicon fuel line
is calculated by how the weighted clunk should
rest about 8mm away from the rear of the tank
and move freely inside the tank). Connect one
end of the line to the weighted clunk and the
other end to the nylon pick up tube in the stop-
per.
1 3) Carefully bend the second nylon tube
up at a 45 degree angle (using a cigarette
lighter). This tube will be the vent tube to the
muffler.
1 4) Carefully bend the third nylon tube down
at a 45 degree angle (using a cigarette lighter).
This tube will be vent tube to the fueling valve.
When the stopper assembly is installed in the
tank, the top of the vent tube should rest just
below the top surface of the tank. It should not
touch the top of the tank.

1 5) Test fit the stopper assembly into the
tank. It may be necessary to remove some of
the flashing around the tank opening using
a modeling knife. If flashing is present, make
sure none of it falls into the tank.
1 6) When satisfied with the alignment of
the stopper assembly tighten the 3mm x 20mm
machine screw until the rubber stopper ex-
pands and seals the tank opening. Do not over
tighten the assembly as this could cause the
tank to split.
1 7) Using a modeling knife, cut 3 lengths of
fuel line 150mm long. Connect 2 lines to the 2
vent tubes and 1 line to the fuel pickup tube in
the stopper.
1 8) Feed three lines through the fuel tank
compartment and through the pre-drilled hole
in the firewall. Pull the lines out from behind
the engine, while guiding the fuel tank into
place. Push the fuel tank as far forward as
possible, the front of the tank should just about
touch the back of the firewall.
