ENGINE INSTALLATION
Make sure that the vehicle's engine mounting
surfaces are level and in the same plane. Poor
installation may cause distortion of the
crankcase, bearings, etc., resulting in erratic
running and loss of performance.
The recommended screws for securing the
engine are 3mm or 4-40 steel Allen hexagon
socket type.
If existing holes in the engine mount do not align
perfectly with engine mounting lugs, enlarge
them slightly with a needle-file so that screws
enter vertically.

Chamfer inside edges of bearers.
INSTALLATION OF THE CARBURETOR
As delivered, the engine has its carburetor
lightly fit into the intake boss. Secure it as
follows.
Loosen the retainer screw, rotate the
carburetor to its correct position and make
sure that it is pressed well down into the
intake boss, compressing the rubber gasket,
before retightening screw.
Rotate the retainer screw gently until it
stops, then tighten a further 60-90˚.
Do not overtighten the screw as this will
damage the carburetor body.

NOTE:
Where spacers are supplied joined in pairs
(see sketch) separate them as shown.
Either face may be placed downwards.
Avoid forcing the screws. Secure with locknuts.
If the bottom of the recoil starter housing would
otherwise touch the car chassis, fit the engine
mount spacers (supplied) between the engine's
mounting lugs and the engine mount. Use the
M3x15 screws provided. With some vehicles, it
may be necessary to make minor trimming
modifications to chassis or body when fitting the
engine.

This is a heavy-duty wet type air cleaner that has
been developed specifically for the O.S. MAX-CV
series model car engines.
It contains specially impregnated filter elements which
prevent highly damaging dust and dirt from being
drawn into the engine through the carburetor, yet
allow engine performance to be maintained for longer
periods between element renewals. The Type 102 air
cleaner has a special rubber body which facilitates
easy yet secure fitting, with positive sealing at the
carburetor air intake.
AIR CLEANER TYPE 102
INSTALLATION OF AIR CLEANER
Carefully clean the carburetor,
removing any old adhesive or
sealant that may have been
previously used on the outside
of the air intake.
Press the air cleaner body firmly
over the carburetor air intake. Make sure that the
outer rim of the air intake engages the internal
annular groove in the air cleaner: failure to do so
may result in the air cleaner falling off. See sketch,
right.
