SEDIMENT CUP CLEANING

The sediment cup prevents dirt or water that may be in the fuel tank from
entering the carburetor. If the engine has not been run for a long time, the
sediment cup should be cleaned.

position and remove the key.
2. Turn the fuel valve lever to the
OFF position; then remove the
sediment cup and the O-ring.
Discard the O-ring.
3. Clean the sediment cup in
nonflammable solvent, and dry it
thoroughly.
4. Reinstall a new O-ring and
sediment cup, and tighten the
sediment cup securely.
5. Turn the fuel valve lever to the ON
position and check for leaks.
