Intake System; Maintenance Of Filtering Element; Engine Wbe 0701-Wbe - GGP WBE 0701 Workshop Manual

General information
The intake system uses an air filter directly connected to the carburettor by means of a manifold which
conveys the air/petrol mixture to the inlet valve.
See the relevant section

intake system.

An inefficient filter can let dust or debris enter the cylinder, causing premature wear to the piston rings and
cylinder.
The air filter is found on the left hand side of the engine and can be inspected without having to remove
other parts.
