STEP 27

	The bag with the parts for STEP 27-34.
	The parts from the bag STEP27-34.
	The paper mentioning the contents of STEP 27-34.
	We need these parts to assemble the clutch and engine mounts.
	Slide the cone that comes with the engine on the cranck shaft until it hits the inner side of the engines front ball bearing. Pull the cranck shaft to be sure there is no play.
	Slide the flywheel onto the cone.
	Take the tapered cranck shaft nut and tight it firmly. I do not use thread lock! It is nice the cranck shaft nut is tapered as this makes it easier to slide the clutch shoe springs in their position.
	Fit in each clutch shoe a spring like the pics shows. There are three shoes needed.
	Put one of the clutch shoes on the flywheel pin and make sure it comes on top of the tapered cranck shaft nut.
	Now push with a flat screw driver the spring into the groove of the nut.
	Do the same for the second clutch shoe.
	Now take a metal part like this hexagon wrench and put it between the shoe and the nut to create some space for the last shoe to be placed.
	Slide the last clutch shoe in position.
	Take the hexagon wrench away and it should look like this. The shoes are not drilled yet for later engaging. If you desire later engagement you can always drill them later. Look for more about clutches on this page.
	Slide three 5x7x0.3 m/m shim washers on the cranckshaft. Then fit a 5x10 m/m ball bearing.
	Slide the 13 teeth clutch bell on the ball bearing.
	Put a second 5x10 m/m ball bearing in the front of the clutch bell.
	Now first fit a 3x8x0.5 m/m washer and then a 3x6 m/m hexagon screw and tight it firmly. I do not use thread lock. Check if the clutch has some lateral play of 0.2 m/m. If this is not the case remove one or more of the 5x7x0.3 m/m shim washers that was slide on the cranckshaft before the first 5x10 ball bearing was placed and check again.
	Take the non adjustable engine mounts and mount them to the engine mounting plates with 3x16 m/m hexagon screws and 3 m/m spring washers. Watch how they are mounted as the front part is longer.  The kit 3x16 m/m screws are to long and I had to shorten them with a Dremel high speed tool.
	Make sure the engine mounts are mounted the way that if the engine is placed on a glass plate that the mounts are flat on the glass plate. If not make them flat with a file.
