  1. Disconnect the Kill Switch Wire from the Magneto using the needle-nose pliers if necessary.

  1. Carefully bend the retainer clips until they are flat using the needle nose pliers. Remove the Governor Blade, do not disconnect the springs or arms attached to the blade.

  1. Unbolt the two Intake Manifold bolts using the 3/8" open-end wrench. They are located next to the Exhaust Port where the muffler was attached.
