5. Position the engine so the thrust washer is 4 1/4" from the fire-
wall. Making sure the engine is square on the mount, mark the four
hole positions on the beams with a pencil. Remove the engine and
drill 3/32" holes at each of the marked locations, making sure the holes
are perpendicular with the beams. Run the 3 X 15 mm self-tapping
engine mount screws in and out of these holes to establish threads.
6. There is a 'z' bend on the end of the throttle linkage. It con-
nects the engine's throttle arm to the linkage. Hook the 'z' bend into
the throttle lever's innermost hole, slip the cowl over the engine
cylinder head and move this assembly into position on the engine
mount (you will probably have to remove the needle valve). Secure
the engine with four 3 X15 mm self-tapping screws.
7. Install the muffler onto the engine. If needed, trim the cowl
for at least 1/8" clearance around the muffler and needle valve. Place
the spinner backplate on the engine prop shaft and temporarily secure
it with the prop, prop washer, and prop nut. Adjust the cowl until it is
centered behind the spinner with about 1/8" clearance between the
backplate and the cowl. Use a couple pieces of tape to hold it in place.
8. Drill four 1/16" holes through the cowl and into the fuselage
about 1/4" deep. Locate these holes about 3/8" forward of the rear
edge of the cowl. The bottom holes should be about 1/2"from the bot-
tom edge of the fuselage and the upper hole should center in the yel-
low pin-stripe. Secure the cowl with the four 2X10 mm wood screws
furnished.
9. Route the fuel and vent lines to their correct fitting. The top
line is the vent line and goes to the pressure tap on the muffler; the
bottom line is the fuel line and goes to the carburetor.
10. Apply the cowl decals to the cowl, lined up with the stripes
on the fuselage. Note there is a right and a left.
