INSPECTING FUEL FILTER

w
Gasoline (petrol) is highly flammable, and
its vapors are flammable and explosive.
8 If you have any question about properly
doing this procedure, consult your
Yamaha dealer.
8 Do not perform this procedure on a hot
or running engine. Allow the engine to
cool.
8 There will be fuel in the fuel filter. Keep
away from sparks, cigarettes, flames or
other sources of ignition.
8 This procedure will allow some fuel to
spill. Catch fuel in a rag. Wipe up any
spilled fuel immediately.
8 The fuel filter must be reassembled
carefully with O-ring, filter cup, and
hoses in place. Improper assembly or
replacement can result in a fuel leak,
which could result in a fire or explosion
hazard.

If any water is in the fuel, the float 7 will
rise. If so, remove the cup and drain the
water.
1) Lift up and hold the spring 1 to
loosen the filter cup ring nut 2.
2) Remove the filter cup 3, catching any
spilled fuel in a rag.
3) Remove the filter element 4, and
wash it in solvent. Allow it to dry.
Inspect the filter element and O-ring

dition. Replace them if necessary. If
any water is found in the fuel, the
Yamaha portable fuel tank or other
fuel tanks should be checked and
cleaned.
