are: carburetor and internal parts; intake manifold; fuel

crankcase breather; air cutoff valves; fuel tank cap for
evaporative emission controlled vehicles; oil filler cap;
pressure control valve; fuel/vapor separator; canister;

ignition points, condensers, and spark plugs if failure
occors prior to the first scheduled replacement, and

parts and certain models may contain functionally
equivalent parts.
