2) While keeping the back edge of the
cowl flush with the marks, align the front of
the cowl with the crankshaft of the engine. The
front of the cowl should be positioned so the
crankshaft is in nearly the middle of the cowl
opening. Hold the cowl firmly in place using
pieces of masking tape.
Because of the diameter of the cowl, it
may be necessary to use a needle valve
extension for the high speed needle valve.
Make this out of sufficient length 1.5mm wire
and install it into the end of the needle valve.
Secure the wire in place by tightening the set
screw in the side of the needle valve.
