INSTALLATION OF REMAINING ENGINE COMPONENTS
1. Install rocker cover.
2. Install lower, upper, and head shrouds (1) along with two-ended bolt (2) (Figure 13-39, Page 13-22).
NOTE: The shorter end of the two-ended bolt (2) goes through washer and upper shroud.
To prevent leaks, apply a light coat of clean engine oil to the O-ring seal (7) before installation. Care
should be taken during installation to avoid cutting or nicking the O-ring seal (Figure 13-39, Page
3. Install oil filler tube (6) and O-ring (7) into the large hole in the crankcase cover. Install the upper end of
the oil filler tube (6) onto the two-ended bolt (2). Install flange nut (8) and tighten to 50 in-lb (5.7 N·m).
Connect the ground wire (3) to the two-ended bolt and install and tighten the nylon locknut (4) to 50 in-
lb (5.6 N·m). Insert the dip stick (5) (Figure 13-39, Page 13-22).
4. Connect muffler. See Section 15 – Exhaust System.
5. Install carburetor (11), throttle spring (12) and the throttle spring bracket (13). Tighten to 50 in-lb (5.6
N·m) (Figure 13-40, Page 13-22).
6. Connect fuel lines. See Section 14 – Fuel System. Tighten fuel line hose clamp at the carburetor to 9
in-lb (1.0 N·m) (Figure 13-7, Page 13-9).
7. Install the spark plug and thread it in until finger tight, then tighten the plug to 20 ft-lb (27 N·m).
NOTE: Before installing the plug, check the condition of the threads in the cylinder head. Soften deposits in
cylinder head threads with penetrating oil and clean the threads with a tap if necessary.
8. Install governor cable clevis pin (9) through cable clevis and throttle valve, and install a new cotter pin
(10).
9. Apply a light film of clean engine oil onto the seal of the new oil filter and install the filter. Tighten the filter
2/3 turn after gasket contact. Fill crankcase with the correct level of oil (Figure 13-41, Page 13-22). See
Section 2 – Vehicle Specifications.
