3.
Locate the two plastic straps. Mount
them as shown with four #4 x 7/16” sheet
metal screws. Drill 1/16” pilot holes to
start screws.
MOUNTING THE ENGINE
Find the plastic engine mounts mark them
½” from the end of the mount. A small
piece of masking tape edge is easy to see.
You will need a small “C” clamp to hold the
mount to the engine.
1. Clamp the engine to the mount
locating the front edge of engine mount
on the edge of the tape. Mark the engine
mounting holes. Note: the engine mounts
are not symmetrical, keep the short leg to
the
bottom.
3. Mark both engine mounts. Drill them
using a drill press to keep the holes
straight. Use a 5/32” drill bit. It you don’t
have a drill press; use a hand drill as a
last resort. We highly recommend using
the drill press. If you have a friend that
has one, try to use his to keep your
frustration level under control.
