Installation of fuel pipes
A. Front part
1. Cover the pipe openings with masking tape. Place the
rubber wedge (right side) and the rubber-coated clamp
(left side) on the pipe and put it in position.
2. Tear off the masking tape and reconnect to the fuel
pump and jointing hose with clamps.
3. Refit the clamps, the starter motor and the battery
cable.
B. Rear part
1. Refix the pipe nut and cover the openings with masking
k
tape.
2. Insert the fuel pipe from the passenger compartment
and as far as possible through the dash panel. Then
backwards under the cross member and the partition,
bending it gradually so that its shape conforms with
that of the old pipe. Connect the pipe to the fuel tank.
3. Reconnect to the jointing hose with a clamp. F it the
rubber bushing in the dash panel.
4. Refit the rubber wedges and the plate washer.
5. F ill up the fuel tank. Check the tightness.
6. Refit the pedal plate, the transmission casing and the
seat. Replace the wallboard panels and floor mats.
Cleaning the fuel system
If impurities are found in the fuel tank, both tank and
line must be cleaned. This can be done by emptying the
tank and flushing it out with pure gasoline or alcohol.
Make sure that the tank is horizontally positioned, so
that the impurities and foreign matter do not accumulate
at one corner. If more thorough cleaning is required, it
will be necessary to remove the tank. Detach the fuel
pipe from the tank and pump and blow it clean with com-
pressed air. Remove and clean the fuel pump filter. Change
the filter in the line between the fuel pump and the carbu-
retor. Lift off the carburetor cover, take out the float and
the main jet, and blow clean with compressed air.
