5.
Install your fuel tank (not supplied) behind the engine.
Route the tank’s “clunk” line to the carburetor and
guide the tank-refill line forward, behind and below the
engine.
6.
Test-fit and install your engine’s muffler. Guide and
connect your tank’s vent line to the pressure fitting on
the muffler. Install any additional linkages or
connections your engine may require for a glow-plug
driver, choke, etc.
7.
Secure the engine mounting box to the nose of your F.2B
by choosing one of the two options explained in step 4
on page 16.
c) BOTH GLOW AND ELECTRIC POWER
1.
Use 5-minute epoxy to attach 2 exhaust pipe mounts to their
rectangular openings on each side of the cockpit.
2.
Test-fit the fiberglass exhaust pipes into their openings on each side
of the cowl. Align the exhaust pipes with their mounts on the sides of
the fuselage
while test-fitting
the cowl to the
fuselage.
REMINDER: When grinding, drilling or
sanding fiberglass parts, wear safety goggles,
a particle mask and rubber gloves to guard
yourself from eye, skin and respiratory-tract
irritation. If you blow into a fiberglass part,
the dust may blow back into your face.
3.
When satisfied with the fit of the exhaust
pipes between the cowl and mounts, apply
epoxy inside the cowl to secure the ends of
the exhaust pipes to the cowl.
4.
Trim off any excess length from the portions
of the exhaust pipes inside the cowl. This is
also a good time to open any of the cowl’s
vents you may wish to make functional.
5.
Before the epoxy is fully cured, place the cowl on the nose and “fine-tune” the position of the
exhaust pipes to ensure their correct alignment.
