AIR INTAKE
See Figure 2. Air is drawn into the air cleaner, passes
through the air cleaner filter, and is then ported to the
carburetor air inlet through an air intake hose.
Periodically inspect the air intake hose for condition,
damage, holes, perforations, etc. Replace hose, if
necessary. Inspect air intake hose clamps for tight-
ness, condition. Tighten or replace as necessary.
