Steering Link Rod Fasteners
IMPORTANT: The steering link rod that connects the steering
cable to the engine must be fastened using special washer head
bolt ("e" ‑ Part Number 10‑856680) and self‑locking nylon insert
locknuts ("b" & "d" ‑ Part Number 11‑826709113). These locknuts
must never be replaced with common nuts (non‑locking) as they
will work loose and vibrate off, freeing the link rod to disengage.
