3.7 Apply retaining adhesive "Fel-Pro Prolock Retaining I or Retaining II" or "Loctite
RC 609 or 680" on the two threaded studs from the bolt bag and install into the
two left holes underneath fuel tank. Install the fuel tank on top of the fuel tank
support with the studs going through the slots in the support. Install two 5/16 x
3/4 screws with a 5/16 SAE flatwasher and 5/16 lockwasher into the threaded
holes in the right side of the fuel tank. Do not over-tighten. Place a 5/16" SAE
flatwasher, then a spring, over each of the studs and fasten with a 5/16 thin nyloc
nut. Tighten the 5/16 nyloc nut fully than back off a 1/2 turn. This is to allow for
normal fuel expansion and contraction with changes in temperature and fuel
levels. Do not over-tighten.
3.8 Attach the fuel tank hose to the tank fitting and secure with the clamp provided.
3.9 Position the lower end of the handle assembly on the outside of the upper rear
section of the fuel tank and handle support.
Install four 3/8-16 x 1" bolts (with four spring disk washers against the head of each
bolt) from the outside in. Secure using four 3/8" whizlock nuts on the inside of each
handle support and tighten until the spring disk washers are flat (See Figure 1).
3.10 Attach throttle cable to engine:
For Kohler engines with "positive" detents in throttle cable for both idle
and full throttle positions:
Route the throttle cable along the right side of the upper handle, under the fuel
tank support, and position the cable on the left side of the engine.
Attach throttle cable to engine:
a) Position the throttle control lever (on console) in the full throttle (but not choke)
position. You will feel a detent when the throttle control lever is approximately
3/4" (2 cm) from the upper end of the slot -- this is the full throttle position.
c) Loosen clamp on engine control plate. (See Figure 2). Attach inner wire of the
throttle cable to the control plate lever and position cable under clamp, do
not tighten clamp.
