Cleaning Fuel Filter
This job should not be done in the field, but in a clean place.
1. Loosen and remove the filter bowl, and rinse the inside with a
suitable cleaning fluid.
2. Take out the element and dip it in the kerosene to rinse.
3. After cleaning, reassemble the fuel filter, keeping out dust and
dirt.
4. Bleed the fuel system. (See "SERVICE AS REQUIRED" in
Periodic service section.)
IMPORTANT
• When the fuel filter bowl has been removed, fuel stops
flowing from the fuel tank. If the fuel tank is almost full,
however, the fuel will flow back from the fuel return pipe to
the fuel filter. Before checking, make sure the fuel tank is
less than half-full.
