Cleaning the cylinder fins

A bottle brush can be used to clean the cylinder fins.

Replacing the suction head

The felt filter (16) of the suction head can become clogged.
It is recommended to replace the suction head once every
three months in order to ensure unimpeded fuel flow to the
carburetor.
To remove the suction head for replacement, pull it out
through the tank filler neck using a piece of wire bent at one
end to form a hook.

Replacing/cleaning the spark arrester screen

The spark arrester screen should be checked and cleaned
regularly.
Unscrew 3 screws (11) and remove the upper half of the
muffler (12) and then the spark arrester screen (14).
Caution: Do not use sharp or pointed objects for screen
cleaning. Damaged or misformed screen wires may result.
Reassemble the spark arrester screen and the upper muffler
half, and then tighten the screws.
