25. Install the tray onto the top of the engine stand-
offs. Secure the tray with two tie wraps through each
of the mounting holes.
❏
26. Place a piece of foam on the tray, your ignition
battery, another layer of foam and the ignition module.
Secure it all in place with #63 rubber bands included in
the kit. Make all of the connections between the battery,
switch and ignition module. Secure all of the connections
with heat shrink tubing, tape or some other method to
secure the connections.
❏
27. Install the plastic insulation onto the ignition lead.
Secure the lead so it does not contact the muffl er. We
did this by drilling a couple of holes in the fi rewall box
and securing the lead with tie wraps.
❏
28. We decided to shorten the exhaust pipes by
approximately 1" [ 25 mm]. If you decide to do this, now
would be a good time to cut the pipes.
❏
29. You have had the engine off and on the mounts
several times. Remove each of the mounting bolts and
apply a drop of thread locker to each bolt and tighten
all of the mounting bolts as well as the muffl er bolts.
❏
30. Re-install
the cowl. As you
begin installing it
over the engine
you will probably
need to make
some additional
clearance for the
spark plug lead.
Make any additional
clearance cuts
as needed for the
cowl to fi t over the
engine.
