STEP G-07

•

Adjust the gear mesh between the Clutch Bell and the Spur gear

by sliding the engine mounts in the slots of the chassis. In order to

function properly, the Gears should be as close as possilbe, but still

have a small amount of backlash (space between the Gear teeth).

•

Place a piece of paper between the Clutch Bell gear and Spur gear,

slide the engine sideways until the paper is pinched between the

gears and tighten the engine mount screws. This will give a small

amount of space between the gears. Be sure to match the left side

engine mount parallel to the etched lines in the chassis to ensure

perfect gear mesh.

•

You should be able to rock one gear back and forth slightly while

holding the other one steady. Be sure to check the gear mesh all the

way around the spur gear.

•

Once the engine alignment and gear mesh are correct, tighten all of

the screws. Re-check the gear mesh after all the screws are tightened

to ensure the engine mounts did not move.
