Assembly

Reverse the order.
If the engine was removed from the cradle, torque the 4
bolts around the crankshaft to 170 - 220 in. lbs (1355 -
2483 N·cm).
However, leave the bolts securing the engine cradle
slightly loose until the engine location can be checked
and adjusted.
Adjust the engine to achieve the same gap between
the idler pulley and engine pulley, as measured
previously (Figure 29). Then snug the mounting
screws to hold the engine in place.
Figure 29
To assure the engine is properly located in the housing,
measure the distance between the carburetor and the
left side of the opening. When the engine is correct, the
gap should be .030" (.762mm) (Figure 30). NOTE: If
this check is not done, the choke lever may hang up on
the shroud.
