Install the flywheel, clutch shoes and clutch bell assembly onto your engine, keeping in mind that you have the choice of using a 15T,
16T or 17T clutch bell.
●
Install the engine mounts onto your engine, paying close attention to the orientation of the engine mounts, as shown in the drawing.

Split Washers
Before installing the clutch bell, lightly sand the inside surface of the
clutch bell, using 600 grit sandpaper , then clean it thoroughly, using
rubbing alcohol. Doing this will allow the clutch shoes to "bite" better,
reducing clutch slipping.
We strongly suggest applying Thread-
Lock to the engine mounting screws to
prevent them from loosening during use.
Step 6: Installing the Engine
●
Install your engine to the chassis, taking care to ensure that the engine is lined up properly and that the gear mesh between the clutch
bell and the spur gear is correct. It's important that the gears do not bind.
Tighten the clutch nut firmly,
using a pair of pliers, before
installing the bushing and
retaining clip.

Engine Mount Screws
To set the gear mesh, place a piece of notebook paper
between the two gears. When set properly, there should be
a very slight play between the gears. If the gears are too
tight they will bind and if they are too loose they will strip out.
We strongly suggest applying Thread-
Lock to the engine mounting screws to
prevent them from loosening during use.
