the case of the engine. Tighten the screws using a 3mm hex
wrench after applying a drop of threadlock on each bolt.
Step 18
Make the necessary connections between the ignition
module and engine. Use a tie wrap or two to keep the wires
organized so they don’t interfere with the operation of the
engine.
