Removal and Installation

Pay special attention to the following when remov-
ing or installing fuel hoses:
•
Do not over bend, kink, or twist hoses during
installation.
•
When installing hose clamps or clips, position
the tabs to avoid contact with other parts.
•
Make sure hoses do not contact rods, levers, or
other moving parts.
•
Take care not to cut, abrade, or cause any other
damage to hoses.
•
Take care not to excessively compress hoses
when tightening clamps.
Checking for Fuel Leakage
WARNING
After servicing the fuel system, check for
leaks. Failure to check for fuel leakage
could allow a leak to go undetected,
resulting in fire or explosion.
Squeeze the fuel primer bulb until resistance is
felt.
Once pressurized, check all connections and
components for any signs of leakage.

Fuel Hose Connections

Note that fuel hose connections vary according to
each type of pipe. Connect each hose correctly by
referring to the following figure.
Install the hose clamp 0.1 to 0.3 in. (3 to 7 mm)
from the end of the hose.
•
For type "A" (short barbed end) pipe, the hose
must completely cover the pipe.
•
For type "B" (bent end) pipe, the hose must
cover the straight part of the pipe by 0.8 to 1.2
in. (20 to 30 mm).
•
For type "C" pipe, the hose must fit up against
the flanged part of the pipe.
