Tube holders are easily connected to the fuel tank by screws. Using screws is much more secure 
than using glue to attach the holders to the fuel tank.
The larger insert decreases the 
fuel tank volume by 2cc, and is 
recommended for use when the 
fuel filter is used.
The smaller insert decreases the 
fuel tank volume by 1cc.
1CC FUEL TANK INSERT
2CC FUEL TANK INSERT
The fuel tank has the larger fuel volume and includes OPTIONAL tank inserts for decreasing 
the volume of the tank. Using the inserts allows you to adjust the volume of fuel inside the 
tank; this works in conjunction with variables such as fuel filter capacity and/or length of 
fuel line to ensure you have the legal fuel volume limit for racing.

Tighten the clutch nut using 
HUDY tool #107581
Hold the flywheel using
HUDY Flywheel Tool #182015
These bearings  must  still 
be regularly  serviced  and 
replaced when worn out.
Note  the  orientation  of  the  clutch 
shoes. The short side of spring must 
be in the groove of the flywheel nut.
It  is  very important  that your  XB8 has properly-adjusted  gear  mesh. 
Adjust  the  gear mesh so  there  is adequate  (or slightly larger)  space 
between  the  spur  gear and  clutchbell  teeth.  Adjust the  gear  mesh  by 
sliding the engine mounts in the slots of the chassis. You should be able to 
rock one gear back and forth slightly while holding the other one firmly. 
Be sure to check the gear mesh all the way around the spur gear. Tighten 
the screws once the engine alignment and gear mesh are correct, and 
then re-check the gear mesh to ensure the engine mounts did not move.
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT
