Engines vary quite a bit in sizes, styles and brands but
most have mounting lugs, a carburetor with a throttle
(speed) control arm, a prop washer, a prop nut and a
muffler.
The procedure we describe here assumes that you are
mounting a 2-stroke engine that has a side exhaust on
the right (when viewed from behind looking forward)
and a throttle control arm on the right.
To assemble the fuel tank you will need the following
items:
- The fuel tank and fuel stopper assembly (supplied)
- The clunk (supplied)
- About 7” (20 cm) of medium ID silicone fuel line (DUB
197 or DUB-222 or similar)
- Cross head Phillips screw driver
15C - Illustration of fuel line posi-
tioning inside cutaway of the tank

16A- VMAX 46PRO 2 cycle engine recommended
16C- Remove the muffler, position the engine on
the engine mount and confirm that the fuel tank
metal tubes clear the back of the engine. Trial fit
the engine temporarily into place. Tighten the
screws only enough to tack the engine into place
16B- Use a 4mm socket ball wrench or Allen Key
to remove the 4 black machine screws that work
with the clamping plates on the metal engine
mount that has been pre-installed into your
Hornet
