6. Connect the
ignition wire from

7. I n s t a l l t h e
muffl er onto the
engine. Be sure to
use threadlocker
and that the
ignition wire does
not contact the
muffl er.
8. Install the exhaust tubes and clamps onto the muffl er.
9. Cut all necessary clearance, carburetor adjustment, cooling, and
exhaust holes in the cowl.
10. Please ensure the sensor wire is supported as close to the sensor
pick-up as possible. Flight loads may cause stress and damage to
the wire where it enters the sensor body.
11. Make sure the cowl is secured to the airplane and that the spinner
back plate to cowl clearance is at least 1/8" [3.2 mm]. When starting
the engine for the fi rst time and during break-in, it’s recommended
that you run the engine without the cowling.
Drill and Install the Propeller
The easiest way to drill the propeller to fi t the hub is to use a drill
guide. (DLEQ0301) If you do not have a drill guide, you can use the
following method to drill your propeller. Most propellers within the
recommended size range have a 0.393" [10 mm] center hole pre-
drilled. If your propeller has this predrilled hole, move on to step
3. If not, start with step 1.
1. Remove the cowling from the aircraft. Use the included propeller
washer to mark the centering hole on the propeller
2. Once the location is established, use a drill press with a 13/32
(.406/10.31mm) drill bit. In order to achieve a clean hole opening on
both sides of the propeller, drill only half way through the propeller
with the 13/32 (.406 /10.31mm) drill bit. Then fl ip the propeller over
and drill completely through the hole.
