Fitting the engine (part 1)
Fresh out of the box, your Rotax engine should look like this:
 First remove the carburetors. They are mounted to the intake manifold with rubber
sleeves and hose clamps. Loosen the clamps and remove the carburetors.
 Next you need to disconnect the electronics and remove the intake manifolds .
 Mark the black box's connectors (i.e. which wire goes with which wire). If wrongly
reconnected later, you may damage the engine. Be careful not to drop any washers into
the magneto.
 Also mark the crankcase just below the intake manifold with cylinder numbers 1 to 4.
