FUEL SYSTEM
SERVICE INFORMATION
GENERAL
• Work in a well ventilated area. Smoking or allowing flames or sparks in the work area or where gasoline is stored can
cause a fire or explosion.
• Bending or twisting the control cable will impair smooth operation and could cause the cable to stick or bind, resulting
in loss of vehicle control.
• For fuel tank removal and installation (page 3-4).
• Before disassembling the carburetor, place an approved fuel container under the float chamber, loosen the drain screw
and drain the float chamber.
• After removing the intake manifold, cover the intake ports of the cylinder heads with shop towels to prevent any foreign
material from dropping into the engine.
• Be sure to remove the diaphragms before cleaning air and fuel passages with compressed air. The diaphragm might be
damaged.
• When disassembling the fuel system parts, note the locations of the O-rings. Replace them with new ones on reassem­
bly.
• If the vehicle is to be stored for more than 1 month, drain the float chamber. Fuel left in the float chamber may clog jets,
resulting in hard starting or poor driveability.
• For TP sensor inspection (page 19-10).
