 4. Check that the ignition switch is in the off position
before connecting the leads to the engine in the following
step. This will prevent accidentally starting the engine if the
propeller shaft is rotated.
 5. Connect the ignition wire exiting the firewall to the
lead from the engine. The two will plug together with
mating connectors. Place the ground lug under the washer
between the washer and the engine mount. Tighten the bolt
using a 1/8-inch hex wrench. Use a cable wire tie to secure
the leads so they don’t interfere with the muffler.
Note: Always use threadlock on metal-to-metal
fasteners to prevent them from vibrating loose.
 6. Route the ignition wire behind the engine to keep
it from contacting the engine. Secure the muffler to the
engine using the hardware included with the muffler. Use a
#2 Phillips screwdriver and 4mm hex wrench to tighten the
hardware to secure the muffler to the engine.
WARNING: Read and follow all instructions and
precautions before use. Failure to do so could result in
product malfunction, damage and injury.
WARNING: This product can become extremely
hot when in use, which could lead to burns.
NOTICE: Only use this product with parts
specified in the product literature.
Hint: The use of high-temperature exhaust
manifold sealant is helpful to help keep
the manifold from leaking over time.
Note: Check the muffler bolts frequently to
be sure they are not getting loose. If you heat
up the engine and then tighten the bolts down
when hot, the bolts will stay secure longer.
 7. Connect the fuel line from the T-fitting to the
carburetor. Secure the fuel line to the carburetor fitting
using a small tie-wrap. Be sure to secure the ignition wire
away from the hot cylinder head using a tie wrap. Don’t
overtighten the tie wrap and deform the wiring or the fuel
line on the carburetor inlet.
Note: Be sure and keep the fuel line and wiring
away from the HOT exhaust muffler.
 8. Remove the tubing from the choke shaft of the engine.
You may need to use a hobby knife and #11 blade to cut the
tubing so it can be removed.
