Fuel System
Fuel Filter
The fuel filter is mounted on the bottom left side
of the fuel tank. Dirt accumulated in the filter
will restrict the flow of the fuel to the carburetor.
To service the fuel filter:
1. Drain the fuel from the fuel tank into an
approved gasoline container.
2. Remove the fuel tank (page 37).
3. Remove the fuel joint (1) from fuel tank by
removing the bolts (2). Wash the fuel filter
(3) in high flash-point cleaning solvent.
4. Reassemble the fuel joint in the reverse order
of removal. Check that the O-ring (4) is in
good condition and install it onto the fuel
joint.
Install the fuel joint in the fuel tank.
5. Install the fuel tank (page 38) and refill the
fuel.
Turn the fuel valve to ON or RES; check for
leaks.
