parts. Epoxy the cylinders into the crankcase. Paint the crankcase rear (EC5) light gray and epoxy to the crankcase. Take care that the pins for the spark plug wires are aligned as shown on Sheet E. Make the crank shaft (EM1) (5/32 (4mm) dia, 2.00” (51mm) long) and spacer (EM2) (7/32’ (5.5mm) dia, .46 in (11,6mm) .long). Position the spacer on the shaft so that when inserted in the crank case front (EC1) and rear (EC5) the engine rotates freely on the shaft. Glue the spacer to the shaft and ...
