MOUNTING THE COWL
1)
Remove the muffler and needle valve assembly
from the engine. Slide the fiberglass cowl over the
engine.

Measure and mark the locations to be cut out
for engine head clearance, needle valve, muffler.
Remove the cowl and make these cutouts using a
rotary tool with a cutting disc and a rotary sanding
drum attachment.
3)
Slide the cowl back into place. Align the front of
the cowl with the crankshaft of the engine. The
front of the cowl should be positioned so the
crankshaft is in the middle of the precut opening.
Hold the cowl firmly in place using several pieces
of masking tape.

While holding the cowl firmly in position, drill
four 1,6mm pilot holes through both the cowl and
the side edges of the firewall.

the cowling.
Enlarging the holes through the cowl will
prevent the fiberglass from splitting when the
mounting screws are installed.

Slide the cowl back over the engine and secure
it in place using four screws.
7)
Install the muffler. Connect the fuel and pressure
lines to the carburator, muffler and fuel filler valve.
