 INSTALLING THE STOPPER ASSEMBLY

1

 

1) The stopper has been pre-assembled

at the factory.

2)  Using a modeling knife, cut one length

of silicon fuel line (the length of silicon fuel line
is calculated by how the weighted clunk should
rest about 8mm away from the rear of the tank
and move freely inside the tank). Connect one
end of the line to the weighted clunk and the
other end to the nylon pick up tube in the stop-
per.

When the stopper assembly is installed in the
tank, the top of the vent tube should rest just
below the top surface of the tank. It should not
touch the top of the tank.

5) Test fit the stopper assembly into the

tank. It may be necessary to remove some of
the flashing  around the  tank  opening  using
a modeling knife.  If flashing  is  present,  make
sure none of it falls into the tank.

6)  When satisfied with the alignment of the

stopper assembly tighten the 3mm x 20mm
machine screw until the rubber stopper ex-
pands and seals the tank opening. Do not over
tighten the assembly as this could cause the
tank to split.

7)  Using a modeling knife, cut 3 lengths of

fuel line 150mm long. Connect 2 lines to the 2
vent tubes and 1 line to the fuel pickup tube in
the stopper.
