7. Tap the threads into the holes—this may be easily and
quickly done with a drill.
❏
8. Mount the engine mount to the fi rewall and mount the
engine to the mount.
❏
9. Cut the 17-3/4" [450mm] pushrod guide tube to a length
of 11-1/2" [290mm]. Guide the tube through the hole you
drilled in the fi rewall down through the holes in the formers
for the throttle pushrod guide tube.
❏
10. Cut the unthreaded end off another pushrod to a length
of 16-1/2" [420mm]. Thread a clevis onto the threaded end.
Bend the front of the pushrod as necessary to connect to the
carburetor arm on the engine and install the pushrod. We’ll
hook up the other end to the throttle servo after the servo
is installed later.
Install the Fuel Tank
❏
1. Loosen the screw in the stopper in the fuel tank and
take out the stopper/fuel line assembly. Check to make sure
the clunks are present and secure on the lines and that the
vent tube is pointed up toward the top of the tank. Also make
sure the lines on the clunks are not so long that the clunks
can contact the back of the tank (and possibly become stuck).
Make any adjustments necessary, then reassemble the tank
making sure to securely tighten the screw to expand the
stopper to seal the tank.

2. Make a fuel tank strap from a 6-1/2" [165mm] piece of
the rougher, “hook” side and a 6-1/2" [165mm] piece of the
softer, “loop” side of the included hook-and-loop material.
Join the strips with 2" [50mm] of overlap to complete the
fuel tank strap.
❏
3. Make another fuel tank strap same as the fi rst.
