Step 8
Attach the “Z” bend on the throttle pushrod wire
onto the carburetor arm. Slide the pushrod wire into
the tube and secure the engine to the firewall.
Note: When installing the fuel tank, make
sure to have a piece of foam at any point
that contacts any structure inside the
fuselage. Without the foam, vibrations will be
transmitted to the fuel tank, which could cause
the fuel to foam. In turn, you will not get the
optimum performance from your engine.
Step 9
Install the fuel tank into the fuselage. Place small
pieces of foam where the fuel tank contacts
the formers. Make any necessary supports to
keep the tank from moving during flight.
Note: Make sure that any support
braces installed will not interfere with the
installation of the wing or linkages.
Step 10
Install the muffler. There should be plenty of clearance
between the muffler and firewall. Make the proper
connections to the engine, using the engine manufacturer’s
instructions. If you are using a four-stoke, make sure to
route the crankcase vent to the outside of the cowling.
Hint: The fuel tank tubes have be anodized
red and green. The red tube is associated with
the clunk, which goes to the carburetor. the
green tube is associated with the muffler.
