4. Test fit the engine and engine mount to determine the
proper width of the supports. Then tighten the 4 x 20mm screws.
❏
5. Cut out the engine mounting template (on page 15) and
place it on the deck in front of the engine pod supports. This
will help to determine the proper thrust angle. There will be
approximately 3° of right thrust to counter the torque of the
engine. Place the engine and engine mount atop the pod
supports and line up the crankshaft with the “right thrust” line
on the template.
❏
6. Use a drill bit to mark the supports. Using a 3mm drill
bit, drill the holes for the engine pod.
❏
7. Insert the four 3 x 27mm screws (with washers) and
secure the assembly with 3mm locknuts.
❏
8. Position the fuel tank directly behind the engine. Hold it in
place with rubber bands. Leave enough space for the fuel tubing.
❏
9. Attach the required fuel line to the carburetor. The
muffler (pressure) line and fill line will be routed through the
cowl later.
❏
10. Route the throttle pushrod cable up through the hole
located at the rear of the engine mount and through the metal
pushrod guide bracket.
