Install the engine
Reattach the engine to lower motor cover with a fresh gasket, then install the exhaust tube. Coat all the screws with gasket sealant first so they come out easily next time, and if possible torque the screws to 70 inch/lbs. Bolt it to the midsection. Then fit the carburetor, fuel pump and pull start. Do not use any sealant on the carburetor or fuel pump gasket.
Hold off on tightening down the screws until the flywheel is on. When it is, adjust the pull starter by lifting the pinion arm up until it hit's it's stop on the body of the pull start, then lifting the pinion until it fully engages the flywheel. Tighten the starter bolts.
The object here is for the pinion to fully engage the flywheel. But rather than being stopped by the flywheel, the pinion's travel must be limited by the stop on the pull-starter to prevent wear.
